Charles City schools announce makeup dates

Due to recent inclement weather, Charles City’s School Board elected to add two regular school days for students in order to recoup additional hours of instruction.

Schools will now be in session on Jan. 27 and Mar. 9 as makeup days for students. The January date was originally scheduled to be a teacher workday, while the March date was scheduled for parent-teacher conferences. Superintendent of schools David Gaston said that while the school had enough hours not to make-up days, his experience in Charles City indicated the possibility of more inclement weather may be on the way.

Currently, the elementary school has used four out of possible seven built-in days for inclement weather, while the high school has used three of those days.
