With possible snow in the forecast, Bledsoe County Schools Superintendent Phil Kiper says the weather could pose a scheduling problem.
After schools were closed on Thursday, the county only has one more snow day left before officials will have to make up the missed days, he said.
“We just don’t know,” Mr. Kiper said. “We’d have to do some calendar shuffling.”
Several school districts in Southeast Tennessee face the same problem as Bledsoe County. The unusual weather has caused schools to use most of their snow days on top of the sick days used last year when the H1N1 flu season began.
In Marion County, schools had to take two of their allotted days during the initial H1N1 season, Superintendent Mark Griffith said.
