ALEXANDRIA, La. (AP) - Back-to-back winter storms that kept students out of school for three days in Rapides Parish shouldn’t mean makeup days later in the school year, school officials say.
Schools Superintendent Nason Authement tells The Town Talk (https://townta.lk/1nkMv9R ) that’s because the school system didn’t need to use up any emergency days during the 2013 hurricane season.
Authement says the school system builds emergency off time into the school calendar each year, typically anticipating threats from tropical weather.
No hurricanes struck Louisiana during 2013.
