Clay cancels Spring Break

Due to the excessive days missed, spring break has been canceled for the Clay County School District, according to Superintendent William Sexton.

“Our spring break, scheduled for March 24-28, will be canceled,” he said.  

The district has missed 31 school days due to winter flooding and snow.

“It’s been one of the harshest winters since I’ve been superintendent,” Sexton said.

As a result, students' last day of school will be June 3rd, and teachers' last day will be June 9th.

However, if legislators pass a bill to allow school districts more allotted days, the end-of-school date will change.

“We will just have to wait and see what they (legislature) do, if anything,” Sexton added. "We appreciate your understanding and continued support as we work to finish the school year strong."
