Snow days will be made up by adding days to the end of the semester. The first week of June should not be considered as available until we reach a point in the year when inclement weather is no longer a factor. In extreme situations, the board may amend the calendar to use holidays to make up inclement weather days. Elementary Graduation/Promotion will be set after inclement weather is no longer a factor. * Act 1469 of 2009 Requires a minimum of five additional days in the calendar to make up inclement weather or other unusual circumstances.
