Collier County schools won't have to make up missed school day for Hurricane Dorian

Collier County public school students and faculty won't have to make up a school day after classes were canceled Sept. 3.

District officials closed schools "out of an abundance of caution" while Hurricane Dorian's path still remained uncertain as it approached Florida.

CCPS meets the Florida Department of Education's instructional time requirements even with the missed day so a make-up day did not have to be scheduled, Superintendent Kamela Patton said at a district meeting Tuesday.

"Future updates and changes to our academic calendar are dependent upon the level of storm activity and impact to our overall operations," Patton wrote in an email sent out to parents and staff.

If classes are canceled, Nov. 25 and 26 are the district's potential make-up days depending on any future storms, according to the 2019-2020 calendar. Both days fall during Collier schools' week off for Thanksgiving break.
