Local Students Won’t Be Required To Make Up Missed Irma Days
September 20, 2017
Students in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties will not have to make up two days of school lost to Hurricane Irma. Even though Irma had little or no direct effect locally, schools where closed September 8 and September 11 on order of Gov. Rick Scott.
Scott said schools outside Irma’s strike zone might be used as shelter for evacuees.
Florida Education Commissioner Pam Stewart told superintendents Tuesday that the state is waiving the two days for all districts in the state.
Both Escambia and Santa Rosa County already have extra days built into their school years to account for emergency closures.
