Published by admin on Wed, 03/27/2019 - 5:06pm

Clear Lake students will no longer have early dismissal on Wednesdays, as the district works to make up snow days.

At its Tuesday, March 19, meeting the School Board approved a plan to make up four days missed during the winter months.  That plan includes no more early outs, beginning today (March 27), as well as extending the school year to May 31.

The elimination of early dismissal days makes up two of the four days the Clear Lake district needs to hold.
