[quote=Anonymous]I think it's because we've had light winters for the last several years so they just got used to not needing many snow days. I always thought that it was foolish to have anything less than 4 snow days baked into the calendar but that's purely my observation as a parent. Not sure what the insider reasons are. I do think there was also the pressure to continue to recognize more non-Christian holidays (Diwali, Lunar New Year) in addition to MCPS's already recognized Jewish holidays. Also, the teachers' union strongly demanded more half days or non-instructional days to catch up on grading and/or PD. So I think that squeezed out all of the snow days that used to be baked into the calendar.[/quote]
