DP and I'm not sure about the math that PP is using, but since we're now counting hours and not days, all of the delayed openings now need to be accounted for. Each one of them takes 2 hours from the 990 hours of school that we need to have. Several delayed openings are the equivalent one school day. |
The unexpected day off on Sept 9 for voting is the fifth day you’re missing. |
| Reston is the key. They are expected to get the most. We just need updates from those people when this starts sticking to the roads |
We likely won’t have many more after this, unless this one turns into a big mess again. |
The 990 hours affords the system about 13 snow days. The early release Wednesdays and the delayed openings impact that. |
Not yet but soon. The lawn is white and it is sticking to driveways. It's coming down hard. |
Here’s how I’m counting: 9/9, 1/26,1/27, 1/28, 2/2=5 days Delayed openings: 12/2, 2/3, 2/4 =1 days 2/5, 2/6 =2/3 day Early release Wednesdays so far: Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec, Feb = 2.5 days As of today (Sunday 2/22), the total is: Just over 9 days of 13 used. Possible future unexpected days off: Tomorrow, 4/21 Virginia voting new district boundaries. If need be, the early release days coming up (March, April, May) could be canceled. |
| It's sticking to the neighborhood streets in Chantilly (close to Fairfax). |
| I agree that the school year is too fragmented with days off, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have snow days when it’s unsafe to travel. |
| Big flakes coming down at a pretty good rate in Springfield, but not sticking to the roads yet as far as I can tell. Rooftops, decks/patios, grass, and even sidewalks yes it is sticking. |
I think the possible off day due to the referendum voting day is off the table. It was blocked by a judge on Friday. I also wonder how the district would hand those early release overages since that does not impact preschool/PreK, middle or high school students. In any case, hopefully it won't come to that. |
| Sticking to roads now in Chantilly |
| Snow is sticking to the side roads in Reston/Herndon. |
Sticking to some neighborhood streets here in Springfield. |
Add in June 16 primary that schools will likely close. Maybe even change the last day. |
