Changes coming to Magoffin County Schools schedule: How students might still be able to have a full spring break

MAGOFFIN COUNTY, Ky. (FOX 56) — Following weeks of inclement weather in February and March, district leaders with Magoffin County Schools have made changes to the rest of the year’s schedule to stay on track for the final day of classes and ceremonies.

The district posted on Facebook on Friday that, as a result of the schedule changes, March 31 through April 2, which had originally been part of the county’s spring break, will be regular instruction days.

“Contingent upon the Governor signing HB241, the last day for students will be Wednesday, May 28th, with no changes to the daily schedule,” school leaders wrote. “The HWMS Promotion Ceremony is set for Thursday, May 29th, and the MCHS Graduation Ceremony for Friday, May 30th.”

Magoffin County Schools wrote that educators understand families may have already planned trips during the three days and said students with trips planned that hold “significant educational value” can turn in an Educational Enhancement Opportunity (EHO) form for approval.

“These forms allow students to receive an excused absence for educational activities that provide enrichment aligned with their learning,” the district wrote.

EHO forms can be viewed and submitted online here.
