Due to building renovations, Sacred Heard Academy cannot add additional days to their scheduled school year, even though they have missed as many days as Mt. Pleasant Public schools.
Students are currently scheduled to dismiss for the summer on June 6. Sacred Heart will start renovations on June 7.
The school board is in the process of making their decision on how to make up the more than 10 days students have had off of school due to inclimate weather.
Denny Starnes, Sacred Heart principal, hopes the board decides to extend the time of the already scheduled days, so their students do not miss the opportunity to make up time lost to snow days. He’s hoping for some unique options to come out of the board’s decision.
Sacred Heart is going by what the public school decides because they rely on the public school’s transportation.
The renovations will include elementary classrooms, and the entire cafeteria area. If school is extended, it would be impossible to keep the children in the school with the renovations going on, said Starnes. The work will take the majority of the summer.
“It’s been the subject of interest right now,” said Mary Kay Reetz, Sacred Heart admissions director. “While we’ve had a lot of snow days, our building project has already been scheduled.”
