Adams Central is currently (2022-23) operating under a 1003 Waiver approved by the Department of Education.  This waiver allows the use of two regular school days for teacher professional development (no make-up required).  The waiver also allows instructional minutes to be used in the calculation/determination for the required school time/days per academic year.  

At this time, Adams Central will apply for another 1003 Waiver for the 2023-24 School Year, which is expected to be approved by the DOE prior to the end of the Spring 2023 Semester. 

Since the 1003 Waiver allows the option of instructional minute calculations, if Adams Central were to utilize a 3 hour delay, school would still dismiss at the regularly scheduled time.  However, without the 1003 Waiver, a 3 hour delay would extend the school day by one hour.

Please provide your input regarding the 3 hour delay option for Adams Central Community Schools.
