[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]6th snow day of the year[/quote]

What am I missing? I've counted 4 so far. 1/26, 1/27, 1/28 and 2/2. Likewise this would be the 5th, right?[/quote]

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.[/quote]

The 990 hours affords the system about 13 snow days. The early release Wednesdays and the delayed openings impact that. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

Add in June 16 primary that schools will likely close. Maybe even change the last day. [/quote]

If 4/21 doesn’t happen, then 6/16 will happen. If 4/21 does happen, then 6/16 will not happen because there’s no way ballots for new districts could be ready.

If 6/16 does happen to be a day off for voting,  I predict that Reid will end school on Fri, June 12. She’s already told principals to have a plan A and a plan B for things like Field Day and promotion ceremonies at the elementary level. [/quote]
