The Fleming County Board of Education has approved makeup days for the remainder of the school year.
According to Superintendent Tom Price, school will be in session on the following days: Feb. 17; March 19, 20, 21, 31; April 1; May 21, 22, 23, 27, 28, 29, 30, June 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Price said the makeup days were taken from a portion of spring break, summer break, President's Day, staff professional development days and work days.
"We used some of our PD and work days," Price said. "Staff can come in and make up those days at a later time."
Price said there is also a possibility of extending some school days by one hour to make up for the missed days. Graduation is tentatively set for the morning of June 7.
"That is something not set in stone right now," Price said. "Should we have more bad weather and have to close, it could change."
Price said Fleming County Schools have missed 18 days due to weather. Should the school have to close for two more days, the makeup days would be April 2 and April 3, the remaining two days of spring break.
"We are allowed 20 missed days for other steps must be taken," Price said. "After that, we can ask (Kentucky Commissioner of Education Terry Holliday) for calamity days. If he does not approve the calamity days, we will have to add more days to our schedule in June."
Calamity days would allow the school district to close schools for bad weather without having to make up the extra days.
