The Clarksville-Montgomery County School Board tonight voted to make up one of its missed snow days on Presidents Day, Monday, Feb. 15, which was scheduled as a day out of school.
The School System has missed six days so far this year, with three of those days automatically forgiven because they were built in to the calendar. After Monday is used as a makeup day, School System administrators will continue reviewing options for the remaining two days and present those to the School Board.
“Every day of student instruction is critical,” according to Schools Director Mike Harris. “With higher standards and more challenging assessments this year, we do not take any missed time lightly.”
“This is shorter notice than we would have liked, and we apologize for any inconvenience. However, as we continue to miss school and have few options to reclaim the days, we believe this decision is in our students’ best interest,” Harris added.
