[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why we don't get back unused snow days that were built into the calendar. We had 5 days built in. Why don't the move the year-end date up 5 days since they were not used.[/quote]

I know you are probably new here and weren't around when this whole "built in" hogwash was marketed to the public.  They didn't actually "build in" 10 days.  They magically "repurposed" 20 min. per day of time that students spent walking from the bus to the classroom and then from the classroom to the bus and called it "instructional time."  Voila!... magically built in school days that previously would have had to be made up with ACTUAL instruction (or pretended instruction b/c we know nothing good is happening for learning when there are snow-make-up days on June 20th...).  (i.e. 20 min of imaginary instructional time x 180 days = "built in snow days")

So, your kids are just getting gipped out of instruction whenever there are no-school-days from snow or high winds or coldness.
