Polk County Public Schools will not require make-up days due to Hurricane Matthew.

  • No make-up school days will be needed in Polk County 
  • 2 days of school were canceled because of Hurricane Matthew

Earlier this month, schools were closed for two days because of weather conditions associated with the storm. In addition, some of Polk's schools were used as shelters.

School officials said they have reviewed their instructional time within the 2016-2017 school calendar and determined no make-up days are necessary. 

Enough instructional time has been built within the Polk school calendar, school officials said.

The school district alerted the Florida Department of Education that make-up days won't be required.
