School board approves hurricane makeup day
December 13, 2022 - Pinellas County Schools (PCS) will open Monday, March 20, 2023, to account for missing a day due to Hurricane Nicole. The school board unanimously decided Tuesday morning to utilize the "non-student" day following Spring Break. District officials closed schools Nov. 10 due to the storm, and the lost day put PCS below the state’s minimum instructional requirements. Hurricane Ian caused county schools to close for four days in September, but the release stated the district does not need to make up that lost time.
