(WSVN) - With the hurricane season officially over, Broward County Public Schools will now utilize two previously scheduled early release days as make-up days to regain lost time caused by Hurricanes Ian and Nicole.
The dates for these make-up days are Thursday, Jan. 12, and Thursday, April 20, in 2023.
District schools will utilize full-day schedules for those two days.
For high schools, mid-term testing scheduled for Dec. 20 to 23, which typically allows for early dismissal, will now be converted to full-day schedules.
The changes are being done to satisfy Florida’s requirement for instructional hours.
The potential hurricane make-up days were planned for and were included in the county’s 2022/23 school year calendar with the dates selected in consideration of students, families and staff commitments for vacations and holidays.
