The Joplin R-8 Board of Education voted Tuesday to make the final day of school Thursday, May 24.
Initially, the closing date had been pushed back to Thursday, May 31, due to seven days missed because of inclement weather. Last week, Missouri Governor Matt Blunt signed a bill forgiving school days missed during the January ice storm, enabling the Joplin R-8 School District to trim four days off the schedule.
South Middle School will end with a half-day, which will include the annual talent show and awards assembly.
