Time is stockpiled as per state law to allow for up to thirteen days of school being missed due to "dangerous or extreme weather conditions" or "upon approval by the [SDE] Commissioner . . . in case of natural disaster, serious outbreaks of illness affecting or endangering students or staff, or dangerous structural or environmental conditions rendering a school unsafe for use." Days stockpiled in this manner are NOT subject to being "taken off" if not used in a school year. [TCA 49-6-3004] Two such days are used in this calendar: 03/11/2010 as a parent conference day and 03/12/2010 as an inservice/professional development day.

State regulations require 10 administrative & inservice days. At least 5 of these days must be used for inservice, and 1 administrative day must be a parent conference day.

This calendar schedules four [4] administrative days in addition to one [1] parent conference day, and three [3] of the five [5] allowable inservice days.

Remaining inservice days [2] may be earned through activities chosen by a teacher outside statutory paid days of this calendar only with principal approval.
