School District Not Using Make-Up Days For Tropical Storm Isaac
- September 7th, 2012
The School District of Palm Beach County will not have emergency make-up days as a result of the closure for Tropical Storm Isaac.
District officials have conferred with the Florida Department of Education, and the remaining instructional time provided in the District’s school calendar exceeds statutory requirements.
Florida statute sets instructional requirements in terms of hours of instruction over the school year rather than a prescribed number of school days.
The Learning Team Meeting (LTM)/Professional Development Day (PDD) scheduled for October 11, 2012 has been cancelled. October 11 will now be a full day of school for all students.
Schools located in Loxahatchee and the Acreage will receive additional academic support to ensure the full curriculum is covered within the school year. The Keep your Skills Sharp online activities were used by over 6,000 students who were home bound due to Tropical Storm Isaac.
