In April, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) announced that districts may file an appeal of the 185 day school year calendar requirement to the Commissioner if they can demonstrate that their remote learning model was fully functional during the week of March 16 or can present other exceptional circumstances. Salem Public Schools was able to provide remote learning opportunities, as well as launch the SalemLearns website during this first week. For these reasons, Salem Public Schools applied for and was granted this appeal.
What this means is that we gain back days lost this year from snow days and school closures from power outages. See the information below to determine what your student’s last day of school will be for the 2019/2020 school year.
Information about the last day for staff is forthcoming.
