  C. Discuss/Act on TEA Missed School Day Waiver #2 Vote
   

Due to Hurricane and Tropical Storm Harvey and historic flood event, severe damage has occurred to various facilities and properties of the school.  Hurricane and Tropical Storm Harvey presents (1) an imminent threat to public health and safety; or (2) a reasonably unforeseeable situation.  The effects of Hurricane Harvey continue to be felt in a large portion of the state, impacting ILTexas. Damage from high winds, heavy rains and ongoing flooding conditions have forced the cancellation of classes over an extended period of time. The TEA Commissioner has authorized:  "...districts and charter schools in the 58-county disaster declaration area closed due to the hurricane are eligible to apply for a Missed School Day waiver for up to four additional days as needed for any scheduled instructional days missed from Tuesday, Sept. 5, 2017, to Friday, Sept. 8, 2017."  As a result of this waiver, school systems in disaster counties that have missed school days as referenced above due to the hurricane will not have to make up those days on the school calendar.

Consider and take action to approve the District to submit the Missed School Day waiver using the TEAL waiver application.
