Greenville ISD will not have to extend school year due to winter storm

The Greenville Independent School District issued a statement Wednesday afternoon, saying the district will not have to use an off day on the schedule to make up for lost days during last month's winter storm:

"GISD will not have school April 2. Although it was scheduled as a bad weather make-up day on the 2020-21 calendar, the Texas Education Agency has granted a waiver. In addition, we will not be required to extend the school year to make up the closures that were forced by the February winter storm.
