Starting Monday, March 15, students in the Pulaski County School system will be staying at school longer each day thanks in part to this winter's bad weather.
Pulaski County Public Schools announced Monday they will be adjusting their schedules to add 40 minutes to each instructional day. Interim Superintendent Thomas Brewster said the change should last a few months and that the tentative final extended day is May 28.
The reason for the extension is two-fold: to help students prepare for the upcoming state-mandated Standards of Learning tests, and to make up for the days missed due to snow.
The School Board is tentatively scheduled to decide the final calendar for the school year at its next meeting. The schedule will include dates for teacher workdays, the last day of school, and graduation.
