Making up a lost day

Closed days that are not used as remote learning days, or that go past the five day limit, are added to the end of the year in June.

“Any days not utilized as remote learning days or exceeding the five day limit will be added to the end of the school year.”

The Pennsylvania rule

How Pennsylvania counts a lost day

Pennsylvania requires either 180 days, or hours: 900 for kindergarten through grade 6 and 990 for grades 7 to 12, as the district chooses. The state forgives no days; districts are expected to build make-up days into the calendar for closures beyond any Flexible Instructional Days.
