-When is the last day for students? June 6 currently; subject to change.
- When is the last day for teachers? June 9 currently; subject to change.
- How many make up days are in the calendar? The district’s state-approved calendar includes 10 makeup days (Presidents Day and days starting May 24).
- Why don’t we have more make up days planned? The calendar includes enough make up days to equal the largest number of missed days in the past five years (10 days in 2009).
- We’ve used our 10 make up days. Now what? Even though we don’t have more days scheduled in our approved calendar, we do still have to make up any additional missed days. If we miss additional days, the board will discuss when/how to make up those days.
- Can we make up some of our missed days at other times instead of going to school the week of June 2? No. Our approved calendar includes makeup days through June 6, and those days have to be used before considering any other options.
- Can’t we get an exemption? Not likely. At this time, the education commissioner does not have the authority to grant any exemptions. If the legislature did give him that authority, typically exemptions are only granted for districts having to make up more than 20 days — and they still have to make up the first 20.
- Can Oaks Day be used as a make up? Technically speaking, yes, the board could consider using Oaks Day as a make up day for future missed days.
- What about spring break? Again, technically speaking, yes, the board could consider using spring break for make up days for future missed days.
- What about next year? The board will approve the 2014-15 calendar at the Feb. 24 board meeting. The board is considering options for possible make up days inside the opening and closing days of the school year.
- What about graduation? The board typically sets the graduation date at their March meeting.
