[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I did not think they counted as snow days but wondered if they might count as partial snow days. Only because I know they "built in 10 days" are based on instructional hours and now an actual extra 10 days beyond what is required. I also would not say winter is almost over. Historically we have had more snow in February and March than in December and January.[/quote]

2 hour Delays and Early Release do not count towards any snow days. I think that is why you see them (obviously 2 hour delays) used so liberally - because you do not have to make them up.

I think the best case for tomorrow is they schedule a planned 2 hour early release - then the day counts. I'm sure activities after 4pm or something like that will be cancelled. If the projection is an 11-1 storm start time, we at least get the school day in.

No chance of a go on time yet the call for an early release comes mid day - that is an absolute disaster transportation-wise.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought FCPS went by instructional hours, not instructional days. Therefore every delayed opening and early release does count against the “snow day” totals, but as increments of hours, not finite days. That’s why elementary schools technically have less snow days, because of the 3 hour early releases baked in this year. [/quote]
