Questions About Snow Days Answered
Liberty’s calendar is scheduled for 174 days of attendance plus six days designated for inclement weather (added at the end of the school calendar).
Below is an excerpt from a recent Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education communication.
Inclement Weather Make-Up Days – Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
Q: If a district’s calendar includes the required number of make-up days to qualify for using the "inclement weather make-up days" rule, how many days lost or cancelled due to weather must be made up and how many can be forgiven?
A: A qualifying district is required to make up the six scheduled make-up days, plus half of the additional days lost. The remainder of the days and hours lost may be forgiven. For example, if a qualifying district misses 20 days due to inclement weather during the current term, it would have to make up 13 of the 20 days missed (the six scheduled make-up days, plus half of the remaining fourteen days missed, for a total of 13 days). The remaining seven days would be forgiven.
