DALLAS—April 2 is the day students and school staff will make up the day missed due to icy conditions on Friday, February 12. Students and school staff, including teachers, teacher assistants, food service workers, campus office managers and principals would have been off April 2, but now will be attending school and working that day.
In order to accommodate school closings due to inclement weather, Dallas ISD built two makeup days into its school calendar—April 2 and May 21.
"Dallas ISD has improved more than any other urban district in Texas and more than all but one urban district in the country in narrowing the achievement gap."
