Local schools can rest easy as the state Board of Education has eased up on requirements to make up lost days. Board members approved a measure Thursday allowing Georgia districts to forgo making up as many as nine days lost to the ice and snow at the end of January and in mid-February. “(Thursday’s) action from the state board is much appreciated,” Hall County Superintendent Will Schofield said. “Considering the amount of school many districts have missed, local (boards) need the flexibility to weigh multiple factors when deciding how and when to make up lost instructional time.”
