Calamity day confusion
I’ve heard this from a few people now so I think we need to clarify this misconception:
The calamity days school districts used in September because of the windstorm outages have NOT been waived. They do count against the five cancellations that schools are allotted each year.
Many people I’ve heard from think that because there was a declaration of a state of emergency for the situation in September, those days do not count.
That isn’t the case.
“Even though there may have been a state of emergency declared it doesn’t mean that the schools don’t have to make up those days,” said Scott Blake of the Ohio Department of Education. “The only way that there could be an exemption to that would be if the legislature takes action and passes some kind of law that forgives school districts for those days.”
Check out tomorrow’s paper for more information on the situation with calamity days in Clark and Champaign county.
