Worcester County Pushes Last Day Of School To June 18

NEWARK –The last day of school has been pushed back in Worcester County as the school system struggles to make up for nine snow days.

The final day of school for students in Worcester County’s public schools will be June 18, two days later than originally planned. In addition, April 2, which was to be a professional day, will now be a half-day of school for students.

“Winter on the Lower Eastern Shore has been harsh once again,” said Jerry Wilson, Worcester County’s superintendent of schools. “Without additional modifications to our calendar, the school year would extend into the fourth week of June. Making April 2 a half-day of school for students will help us recoup a lost day and shorten the extended school year.”
