OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- The state school superintendent says education officials are not likely to reduce the number of required school days and schools will have to make up days missed because of the ice storm.
The state requires 175 days of school and Sandy Garrett says that's already one of the shortest school years in the nation and the state Board of Education is highly unlikely to reduce it.
She says the missed days will have to be made up at the end of the year.
Garrett says schools may be given more time to take required tests such as standardized tests under the federal No Child Left Behind Act.
