Students in Clark County are in for a longer school year after this month’s flurry of snow days.
The three largest school districts — Evergreen Public Schools, Vancouver Public Schools and Battle Ground Public Schools — will all have to add extra days to the end of the school year after canceling classes for four days. Combined, the districts serve more than 63,000 students.
The three districts have not officially updated their calenders yet, but each will have to add extra days to restore the school year to the state-required 180 days.
Evergreen Public Schools adds all extra days to the end of the year, spokeswoman Gail Spolar said. That means school will extend into an extra week for Evergreen students, whose last day was supposed to be June 15. The last day of school won’t be finalized until early next year, however, allowing administrators to wait and see if there will be additional snow days required.
