District 49 Schools will now join the number of other districts across the state in cancelling classes for students Friday.
A letter was sent to families Wednesday afternoon that the number of planned absences has grown past the point where D49 can ensure safe and quality operations. The day will be considered a professional work day, according to D49.
The letter also asks teachers who plan to attend the day of action at the state capitol to request personal leave. All after-school co-curricular activities, performances and competitions will continue as scheduled.
Here is a list of schools across the state that have cancelled classes for students Friday:
- Academy District 20
