District news
No makeup days for the four storm days
What happened
A storm and power outages canceled the first four days of school in August 2026, and five days at Northview. On September 17, the superintendent said the state will let the district use the extra minutes already built into each school day to cover the four missed days. The state waived Northview's fifth day.
Why it matters to families
The school calendar does not change, so families will not lose breaks or have school extended into June.
The evidence
The September 17 recording: the district 'will be able to use the extended day minutes to make up our four missed school days,' and Northview 'did receive a waiver from the state.'
