SUMMARY: Missouri school districts are facing multiple snow days, potentially leading to a week without in-person learning. State law mandates public schools to provide at least 1,044 instructional hours annually, with schools required to plan for 36 “make-up” weather hours, which allows for flexibility in scheduling.
