Students at Pottsville Area School District's elementary, middle and high school will have the day off for Valentine's Day, Pottsville Area Superintendent Jeffrey S. Zwiebel said Thursday.
"Friday, Feb. 14 will be an Act 80 Day. Our teachers will be doing a lot of curriculum work, so there won't be school for students," Zwiebel said at the school board's workshop session.
The workshop sessions are typically held the second Wednesday of the month, but this month's was switched from Feb. 12 to Feb. 13 to free up the parking lot for a big game to be played on Wednesday, according to school board President John F. Boran.
"It's the Schuylkill League Playoffs, the girls' semifinals," Boran said.
