Wake County Board of Education has proposed a calendar for the 2015-2016 school year incorporating make up days. WCPSS took away three days of spring break due to snow days, causing many teachers, students, and parents to cancel or reschedule their plans to meet WCPSS’s late notice schedule.  To prevent problems from happening next year, the Board has proposed a new calendar listing the makeup days if inclement weather occurs.

This proposed calendar has mentioned the use of full-day Saturdays as possible makeup days. WCPSS has also mentioned that they would like to improve their communication with the public. Previously this year, many relied on Twitter and WRAL for weather delays. The school board will vote on the proposal May 5.
