Last Friday’s day-before-spring snowfall that shut Westport public schools for the day has caused the district to extend the school year by a day to make up for it.
Supt. of Schools Elliott Landon told tonight’s Board of Education meeting that the system had run out of snow days and as a result the last day of school for students will be Friday, June 18, instead of Thursday, June 17.
The Staples High School graduation ceremony has also been pushed back a day to June 18, he said.
Teachers will report to work on the following Monday, June 21, before ending their academic year, Landon said.
He cautioned that if there are any more days canceled this spring due to snow, the district will have to postpone summer vacation accordingly.
