The Broward school board is adjusting its schedule after four days were canceled due to hurricanes

FORT LAUDERDALE – The Broward County School Board held a special meeting Tuesday to decide how to make up for days lost due to two hurricanes.

The students missed one day because of Helene and two because of Milton.

The revised timetable affects the first semester, in which there were not enough teaching hours due to the school closure days.

The students’ return from vacation was scheduled for Tuesday, January 7th. They will return a day earlier than a teacher planning day was scheduled.

The first semester was supposed to end on December 20th, but now it ends on January 9th.

This gives the district four days back for the first semester.

The final exams will continue to take place on the originally scheduled days and end on December 20th.

The state requires that students in kindergarten through third grade receive 720 hours of instruction each year. Students in fourth through twelfth grade must be in school for 900 hours.

Miami-Dade County does not need to adjust its calendar because there is enough time built in.
