School will be canceled Thursday, February 17 due to the projected severe winter weather that is expected during the day on Thursday. Non-attendance centers will also be closed (AMAC, SSC, IST, Dunbar and ISC). All after-school activities and practices Thursday are cancelled. As a reminder, students will not be in school Friday or Monday based on the approved school calendar.
The status of Thursday's Board of Education meeting is still to be determined.
All work and in-service activities scheduled for Friday, February 18, are anticipated to proceed as scheduled. Click here for the elementary in-service schedule. Click here for the secondary in-service schedule.
The employees expected to report to work are:
- Select employees as designated by the superintendent. Those employees will be contacted directly.
- Select School Service Center dispatch and road security.
- Snow removal crew members, who will be notified by their supervisor.
Many have asked whether students will have to make up days since we have missed time due to snow, broken water mains and in several cases COVID-related shut down. The state sets a minimum number of required school hours per year (1,116 for K-11 and 1,086 for seniors).
Seniors will need to make up time, and each high school has already developed a plan to accomplish this work. For all other schools, we will continue to carefully review what the impact of any future closures may have.
