SNOW MAKE-UP DAY ATTENDANCE BEING WITHHELD

It's been two weeks since the school district held a special day of classes during Spring Break to make up for the extra snow day that was needed this past year.

It was also two weeks ago today that many students and teachers did not show up because, well, it was the middle of vacation.

Background on that HERE.

We do not blame the district for this because, as we have noted, it is due to a state law that handcuffs the district on the options it has for making up days. It cannot make up days at the end of the year, so they have to do it during vacation.

But, for some reason, the district has yet to release the attendance data to us for that day. A spokesperson said she was not sure if the information can be released. Well, it was released a few years ago in the same situation.

We submitted a public records request for this information yesterday and hope to get the information soon.
