No Make-up Day for Students

Students in Stephens County will not have to make up a day after winter weather last month cost the system one student day.

Tuesday, the Board of Education unanimously approved a make-up plan for the day.

Under the plan, the day is forgiven for students and would be added for post-planning and training for teachers and staff depending on an employee’s classification.

The day would be added on to post-planning in May after school lets out for students.

School officials say any staff that did work the day schools were closed will not have to work another day.

This leaves the school system with 173 student days for the 2015-2016 school year.
