The Pinellas County School Board has approved special observance days for the 2005-06 school year. Board policy states that, on these days, teachers and staff members will not schedule tests, exams or major activities that account for 25 percent or more of a student's grade for a grading period.
The policy also notes that students will have the opportunity to make up the work without being charged special fees. No district-coordinated activities should be scheduled on days or evenings designated as special observance days.
