State to allow flexibility; last day of school for students now May 30
There was good news out of Frankfort on Friday (March 28); both houses of the General Assembly passed the snow day legislation that allowed districts flexibility in fulfilling the requirement for 1,062 instructional hours. That means that Ballard County students can finish this school year on May 30, if classes are held on May 20 and May 26 (Memorial Day), and if the district makes up missing instructional time to meet the 1,062-hour requirement.
