| Nah. This has happened before. It has never eaten into the summer. No worries. |

| A few extra days at the end of the year isn't the end of the world. They'll live. |

They are not out of snow days yet, there are 5 snow days built into the year. Today was snow day 4.

| There will be several more of these puny snow storms and the county will close schools as usual. Whether it's 5 or 15 they will do the usual and appeal to the state and a waiver will be granted. |

I guess PP didn't read the info she sent. The link shows that at 5 days the school year gets extended..
If schools are closed... The school year will be extended by... 5 days one day to June 13, 2014 Though I don't really think that will happen. |

| A few years back when MCPS and other MD school systems used up all their snow days, I believe the MD Sec'y of Education granted a waiver so they didn't have to add on days at the end of the year. |

OP is correct - this was written 2 days ago, so before yesterday's snow day was scheduled and used. DC has already stated that they are extending the school year. PG and MoCo are at their max. http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/in-washington-area-school-days-to-be-added-to-academic-calendar-after-snow-closings/2014/01/21/3f6aad44-82c0-11e3-9dd4-e7278db80d86_story.html |

| Bring on the snow days. My DC is a senior and graduation day is fixed. So adding days at the end of the year makes no difference to DC. |

| Our kids need more time in school, not less. They better not appeal to get out of them |

How refreshing to find someone here thinking only of themselves. |

This. I've had kids in MCPS for 16 years, and I think maybe once in that time they have extended the school year, more than 10 years ago. They will likely ask for and be granted a waiver. Why all the panic over going an extra day, anyway? What's one more day? |

It's the first time in 18 years we haven't worried about snow days. I'm enjoying it. Plenty of other stuff to worry about of course. |

In the past*, MoCo has gotten waivers for days where a disaster declaration has been made..blizzard/hurricaine. I don't think we have had any of those this year. I wonder if it will still be granted.
*We have been with MoCo 8 years so I can't speak to what happened before then, |
