Seattle School District finalizes last day of class

Seattle students already made up one of three snow days and
now the district has announced they’ll make up the remaining
days in June.

The last day of school will be Friday, June 22.

Three days were lost due to winter weather conditions in
January, but a day was made up Jan. 27.

The district considered applying for a waiver from the state
to allow them to skip the remaining missed days, but the
school board voted 0 to 7 against requesting the waiver.

Not making up the days would have saved the district about
$500,000.

“This is a statement on the value of classroom instruction,”
said Board President Michael DeBell, after the vote.
