Governor Gretchen Whitmer has signed a bill that forgives school districts from making up an extra four school days lost during a cold weather emergency from Jan. 29 to Feb. 1. State law already forgives districts six days canceled for “snow days,” and schools can get a waiver from the state superintendent for three additional days.  

 

Many districts have exceeded the nine-day limit and without the legislation would have to add make up days into June. Here are area school’s schedules for the last day of school and graduation ceremonies.

 

*Bellevue Community School's last day is Friday, May 31.
