SCCPSS only requires 3 Make Up Days

SCCPSS only requires 3 Make Up Days

The Issue

State law allows local districts to waive 4 missed days which occur during a declared state of emergency.   

Vote NO on adding 3 days in December.  These days are after EOC testing and will therefore add no instructional time before the tests are administered.

The Eclipse, which didn't come as a surprise, should have been added to the calendar before it was originally voted on in 2016, students and staff should not be punished for the district's lack of foresight.

Adding these days will unnecessarily shorten vacations and intrude on valuable family time.
