Dear Brown County Schools Community, I am pleased to share an update regarding our school calendar following this week's weather-related closures. After speaking with the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE), we have been granted approval for three waived instructional days and three additional asynchronous eLearning days for this school year. This is great news, as we know that spring weather can also bring challenges, including potential flooding and hazardous road conditions. Updated School Calendar Adjustments Monday's closure (Feb. 19) will be made up on Tuesday, May 27, which is now our last student day. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday closures of this week have been waived by the IDOE. If we experience additional closures, we will first utilize the three asynchronous eLearning days that have been approved. If we exceed those three asynchronous days, we will use Wednesday, May 28 – Friday, May 30 as in-person makeup days prior to graduation. Impact on Graduation Even if we exhaust all of these options, it remains highly unlikely that we will move graduation. We will do everything possible to ensure seniors complete their finals on time so that commencement proceeds as scheduled. Weather Outlook & Transportation Update The weather looks promising for us to be in session on time tomorrow. However, we will be driving roads again this evening to assess conditions and determine if alternate routes are needed for gravel roads. If you live on a gravel road and an alternate route is required, transportation or your bus driver will contact you directly. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate these adjustments. Thank you for your continued support of Brown County Schools, and please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you, Emily Superintendent, Brown County Schools
