*In the event of emergency school closings, the superintendent may need to adjust the exam schedule.  Please note the early release for students will be on the last day of exams.
**The purpose of the midyear teacher workday is to permit teachers to grade exams and prepare for the new semester. Therefore, in the event schools are closed due to inclement weather and the exam schedule has to be revised, it may be necessary for the superintendent to adjust the scheduling of the teacher workday.
***Optional banked time may be used at the Superintendent's discretion.  Optional banked time may be available only if there have been no delayed school openings or early closings during the 2nd Semester.
