Superintendent Brown Answers Lingering Snow Day Questions

The Fox C-6 School District experienced 13 snow days this year. Superintendent Dianne Brown released a statement explaining how those days away from school will affect students' education as well as the school calendar.

In her statement, Brown assured that the rest of the school year calendar will remain the same with makeup days added at the end.

Missouri state law requires that six snow days be built into every school year. The school district has a policy, Brown said, that forgives more than 10 snow days in any academic year.

Although Fox students have missed 13 days due to bad weather, they only have to make up 10. The school year will not extend past May 27, Brown stated in the release.

Brown outlined several tips in managing inclement weather including how to get alerts on your cell phone, where to watch for closings and the dismissal procedure.

She also assures parents that her biggest concern and that of the district is the safety of its students.
