School Year Shortened Due to Weather

Missouri, Lee's Summit, USAFri Feb 21 2025
In Lee’s Summit, Missouri, the school year is wrapping up earlier than expected. This is due to the district facing more weather-related closures than anticipated. The district has had 11 days off due to bad weather. This has pushed the last day of school to June 2. However, the district is aiming to finish up by May 30. To do this, they need to cut one day from the school year. This means the year will be 169 days long instead of 170. This decision was made during a recent Board of Education meeting. The district has already used up all their planned weather days. They also had an extra day off due to bad weather. The district is trying to avoid going into June. This is because it could cost them a $650, 000 bonus from the state. Another weather day would mean losing that money. Parents in the district have mixed feelings about this. Some are okay with the change. They feel that the weather is out of the district's control. They also think that missing one day won't disrupt their kids' learning. Others are concerned about the financial impact. They understand that the district is trying to avoid losing money. However, they also think that the district is trying to avoid losing money.
