School will be in session Monday, Feb. 21

Posted by Fred Steiner on February 10, 2011 - 8:44am

The winter weather forced changes in the Bluffton school calendar. According to Greg Denecker, superintendent, the school has used its three cancellation days. It may need to make up two days.

Monday, Feb. 21, President's Day, originally a no-school day, will now be a school in-session day.

Denecker said that the Ohio legislature may act this month on extending from three to five the number of weather cancellation days allowed this year, because of this year's unusual weather patterns.
