Snow Make-Up Days for Atlanta Metro Schools

Make-Up Days for School Closings - Atlanta Make-Up Days for Snow Days

From

The snowstorm that shut down Atlanta from January 10-14, 2011, has left metro school districts scrambling to make up days from the school closings. Georgia law allows schools to miss up to four days, but most districts have missed six days so far. Here's a list of make-up plans by county.

Atlanta Public Schools

APS has four inclement weather days built into the calendar already, so no make-up days will be scheduled until possibly later in the year.

Cherokee County

March 17 and 18, which had been furlough days, will now be school days.

Clayton County Schools

Decisions have not been finalized.

Cobb County Schools

February 2 and March 18 will now be full school days.

DeKalb County Schools

Decisions have not been finalized.

Douglas County Schools

April 1, which had been a staff furlough day, will now be a school day.

Fayette County Schools

Fayette County Schools will be in session February 22-24, dates that were originally part of February vacation.

Fulton County Schools

Make-up days will be March 11 and April 22.

Forsyth County Schools

School will now be in session on February 18, 21, and 22, as well as April 26.
