At its Tuesday, April 7, business meeting, the Portland Board of Public Education voted to make up snow days this school year by adding four more days to the 2014-2015 calendar. The last day of classes for students now is set for Friday, June 19, 2015 instead of Monday, June 15, assuming there are no more cancellations.
The amended calendar will result in 178 instructional days for students. The state requires 175 days.
The board also approved amending the calendar to set June 22-24 as professional development days for all staff.
