Every closed day is made up

On the 2026 to 2027 calendar each day Bullitt closes for weather comes back later in the year, as set out under making up a lost day.

“This option is a TRADITIONAL calendar option with 170 Instructional Days. There are no "banked days," so every day missed MUST be made up.”

NTI days

The Kentucky rule

How Kentucky counts a lost day

Kentucky requires at least 1,062 instructional hours on at least 170 student attendance days. After an emergency a board may amend its calendar and lengthen or shorten the remaining days by 30 minutes or more, as long as the year still meets the requirement.
