Make-Up Schedule
The Board of Education has approved Friday, April 18 as a Blizzard Bag day to make up one of the two calamity days the New Richmond Exempted Village School District must make up according to Ohio House Bill 416.
New Richmond lost 10 days due to weather this year, five more than the allotted five calamity days for the state, and must make up days 6 through 9 according to HB 416.
Approval of the Blizzard Bag assignment will allow the school year to end on May 23 instead of students coming back for one day after the Memorial Day weekend.
Blizzard Bags are online or take-home assignments for students. New Richmond used Blizzard Bag assignments to make up days 6 and 7.
“Good Friday (April 18) will remain a holiday for the district but students will be given Blizzard Bag assignments,” said NREVSD Supt. Adam Bird. “The last day for students will now be May 23 (originally a teacher work day) instead of the 22nd.”
