The Board will annually adopt a school calendar that will provide for a minimum of 174 days and 1,044 hours of pupil attendance.

The length of the school day will meet State Department of Elementary and Secondary Education requirements for six (6) clock hours of instruction. A school year and school day in excess of the state required minimum may be recommended by the Superintendent and approved by the Board.

If the District's schools are dismissed due to inclement weather after school has been in session for three or more hours, that day shall count as a full day, including kindergarten. When the total hours lost due to inclement weather exceed twelve (12) hours, the time must be made up in half- or full-day additions to the school term.

The District shall be required to make up no more than eight (8) school days lost or canceled due to inclement weather and half the number of days lost or canceled in excess of eight days.
