Section 59-1-425(B) of the 1976 Code, as amended by Act 260 of 2006, reads: *(B) Notwithstanding any other provisions of law to the contrary, all school days missed because of snow, extreme weather conditions, or other disruptions requiring schools to close must be made up.  All school districts shall designate annually at least three days within their school calendars to be used as make-up days in the event of these occurrences.  If those designated days have been used or are no longer available, the local school board of trustees may lengthen the hours of school operations by no less than one hour per day for the total number of hours missed, operate schools on Saturday, or may waive up to three days.  The SC Department of Education clarifies that the first three missed days must be made up.  Days four through six may be waived by majority vote of the local school board or may be made up by extending the school day or on Saturdays.  Days seven through nine may be waived by the State Board of Education.
