Hays USD 489 used its first two snow days of the winter season Tuesday and Wednesday as a result of the snowstorm that dumped 6 inches of snow on Hays.
According to district spokeswoman Elizabeth Jaeger, the district wrote two snow days into its calendar for the 2013-14 school year, and the state “matches” the number of days a district anticipates using as snow days.
That means USD 489 has two more days left before the district would be required to extend the school year.
The last full day of school in 2013-14 is scheduled on May 19, with a half day for most schools on May 20. Hays High School graduation is scheduled for May 18.
