Paris – Some Paris ISD students will skip the last days of school next year while others get intensive academic help under a program known as the Optional Flexible Year program.

Students who pass the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) will attend class for fewer days, essentially earning extra days of summer vacation.

Students who haven't passed will attend the full year and receive intensive help while the other students are off. Those still behind after the end of the school year will attend summer school.
