Horry County School Board waives 4th make-up day due to inclement weather
State law requires school districts to make-up three days due to inclement weather, by using the three days that must be built into the school-year calendar. Horry County Schools made-up three days due to weather, which are below:
- October 9, 2017 (make-up for September 11, 2017)
- Tuesday, January 16, 2018 (make-up for January 3, 2018)
- Monday, February 19, 2018 (make-up for January 4, 2018)
Once those three days have been made-up, the local school board may waive up to three additional days. Recently, the Horry County School Board of Education voted to waive the fourth make-up day for students due to inclement weather, which caused the schools to close on January 5.
If more than six days are missed, the State School Board of Education may waive up to three more additional days. Absences beyond nine days due to inclement weather requires legislative approval for waiver.
