Also, Superintendent Dr. Joe Young announced the days of school missed by the recent winter weather will not have to be made up this year. 

“We still have enough minutes and days built into the calendar to be compliant and within regulation,” Young said.

Young added that if classes were to be canceled at any point going forward, extra days would be added to the spring semester schedule.
