Board waives March 5, 2025 weather makeup day
Summary
Trustees voted to waive the March 5 weather makeup day rather than schedule May 30 as a school day, citing student safety and the limited instructional value of the late‑May makeup date; the motion passed 10–0 with one absent.
The board voted to waive the March 5, 2025 inclement‑weather day rather than use May 30 as a makeup day.
Superintendent and operational presenters outlined the options: designate May 30 as a make‑up day or waive the date under state code. Trustees discussed safety concerns (high‑wind forecasts on March 5) and the practicality of a late‑May makeup day that would fall after grading and potentially be unproductive for instruction. A motion to waive the makeup day under the cited South Carolina code was seconded and carried 10–0 with one absent.
Staff will record the waiver with the county and adjust calendars as needed for the end of year. The board also requested clearer public messaging around the decision and the rationale for safety and scheduling.
