Making up a lost day

Missed days must be made up under Utah law; no dates set.

“As Utah law requires missed days of instruction to be made up, options like a delayed start and virtual learning are considered before completely closing schools.”

The Utah rule

How Utah counts a lost day

Utah requires at least 180 school days of educational services. No fixed count; a district that closes for snow and would fall short of 180 days can ask the State Superintendent for a waiver, granted without Board approval if it built contingency days into its calendar.
