School board tweaks calendar to make up days

Crittenden County Board of Education has already started adjusting the school calendar in order to begin making up snow days. It is quite rare that school cancellations for snow start piling up prior to Christmas. Because students have missed three days over the past week, the board of education took a proactive step at its regular monthly meeting Tuesday, tweaking the school calendar over the next couple of months in order to make up the missed days.

Previously, students were going to get be out for Christmas starting Friday, Dec. 20 and then return to classes on Tuesday, Jan. 7. There was also a teacher planning day set for Monday, Feb. 17. Now, students will go to school on the following days that were previously set aside for the holiday vacation or the planning day:

School will be in session on these days:
  • Friday, Dec. 20
  • Monday, Jan. 6
  • Monday, Feb. 17
Currently, the last day of school for students in Crittenden County is scheduled for May 14 if more days of school are not missed.
