District Plan For “Make Up Days”
Dear Cardington-Lincoln Parents and Guardians,
The combination of weather and bad luck with our water main break in October has put the district in the unfortunate position of looking at “make up” days for this school year. Grades 7-12 must attend a minimum of 1001 hours during a school year, and Grades K-6 must attend 910 hours by law. To begin the school year, we were able to miss the equivalent of 11 school days in grades 7-12, and as of February 1st, we have now used 10 days. Please remember that two hour delays now count against our total hours attended. (Click Here to Continue Reading)
