Pasco Schools Make Up Day Undecided
The superintendent's office is looking into whether students will need to make up the day lost to Tropical Storm Isaac.
The threat of Tropical Storm Isaac closed Pasco schools Monday, Aug. 27, but whether that day will need to be made up by students remains to be seen.
Superintendent Heather Fiorentino said her office is "in the process of looking into it" but she did not have an answer for the board at its Sept. 4 meeting.
"So stay tuned," board chairwoman Joanne Hurley said.
The district has staked out Nov. 19-20 as possible hurricane make up days in its calendar for the 2012-13 school year. This falls during Thanksgiving break.
What do you think about students possibly having a shortened Thanksgiving vacation courtesy of Tropical Storm Isaac? Let us know in the comments section.

Dumb idea. They put in an extended Thanksgiving break this year, how many people do they think willstill be around? How about having the make up day on 1 of the numerous teacher planning days? Or here's a novel idea, next time find a better meteorologist and don't close school for no reason! I've been bere 8 years and school has been closwd more for absolutely no reason than it has for actual storms that posed an imminent threat.
