How long do you want to be going to school this summer? That is a serious question administrators, teachers, parents and students need to start pondering as illness already has closed a number of district schools this year. I am in complete agreement with each school closing due to illness. Administrators really have little choice in the matter anyway as if their attendance numbers are below a certain percentage, a day wouldn’t be counted for state record purposes. However, these missed days now are going to have to be made up later. When you consider we haven’t hit winter yet, can you imagine the potential that exists for missed school during the regular season this year? A story in the Lansing State Journal last week indicated there is no consideration being given to forgiving districts the days being missed by the Michigan Department of Educatio.
