The Pasadena Independent School District Board of Trustees approved the
administration’s recommendation to designate Feb. 16, 2009 as a make-up
day for students due to Hurricane Ike.
Originally, Feb. 16 was scheduled as a staff development day for
instructional staff. Trustees approved the measure at their regular
October meeting.
Due to the hurricane and damage that ensued, students in the district
were not in attendance for 11 consecutive school days. The Texas
Education Agency waived the first 10 days and stated that districts were
not required to make up those days.
The proposal was studied by the administration and was reviewed by the
District Education Committee. The members of the DEC were in consensus
that the make-up day was needed. |
