CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Clarksville area schools will hold class on President Day, meaning students will lose the regular holiday on February 17.
Clarksville Montgomery County Schools (CMCSS) made the announcement on its website Tuesday, stating “CMCSS has used four days for inclement weather as of Feb. 4, which means the first make up day is Feb. 17 (Presidents Day).
The post went on to explain how snow days are made up:
The law allows for 13 days to be stockpiled by students. Students
stockpile days by going 30 extra minutes. Teachers do not stockpile days.
The district chose years ago, with input from teachers and administrators,
to use four of the stockpiled days as staff development which left nine
student stockpiled days. A few years ago, again with teacher and
administrator input, three early release days were added. This accounts
for one more day to be subtracted from the nine which then leaves eight
days from the 13.
The Board will forgive three days of the eight. Subsequent days would need to be approved by the Board for makeup or not.
