Weather Make-up Day Set for May 21

Due to inclement weather, Duncanville ISD canceled classes on February 12, 2010. The district is required by the state to make up this lost instructional day. Two dates, April 2 and May 21, are identified as inclement weather days on the 2009/2010 District Calendar. Duncanville ISD will use May 21 as the make-up inclement weather day for the missed February instructional day. Please keep in mind that it is possible the district may experience more inclement weather. If the district closes due to inclement weather for a second time, the district will utilize the April 2 inclement weather day.
