Due to the inclement weather "snow days" that the Portland Public Schools called on Monday, March 25, and Thursday, April 4, following storms and power outages, the last day of school in June has been extended by two days.That means that the last day for students will be Friday, June 14, 2024 (which will be a half day), and the last day for teachers will be Monday, June 17, 2024. Due to a waiver granted by the state, we will not need to make up two days missed in the fall due to the statewide search for the suspect in the mass shooting in Lewiston in October. However, state waivers have not yet been granted for the two days missed at Talbot Community School for mold issues as school was starting this past fall, and for one day missed at Casco Bay High School on April 5 due to a power outage. The Board of Public Education will discuss seeking waivers for those schools at its Tuesday, May 7, meeting. An update on those waivers will be provided before the end of the school year.
