Board considers built‑in snow‑day makeup days and online learning limit

Staff described a proposal from teachers to build specific makeup dates into the calendar for winter weather interruptions. Under the proposal, typical winter missed days could be made up on preselected Fridays in January or February (and potentially added options in April or May) rather than leaving recovery to the end of the year. One board member noted the state permits only one online learning day before a makeup is required, which shaped the discussion.

Board members discussed grading‑period impacts, long‑weekend scheduling and family planning; some members favored aligning makeup Fridays with long weekends to reduce disruption. The board asked staff to bring the proposal back to teachers for confirmation and to return with final language at the next meeting.
