[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So does everyone agree now that 1/29 needs to be a make-up day?[/quote]

No[/quote]

What's the better day?[/quote]

I'm betting they choose June 6.[/quote]

Parents need to contact the BoE to make sure this doesn't happen.

I don't necessarily have a problem with June 6th as a make-up day, but we're going to need more. We need to use 3 make-up days before we can even ask the state for a waiver.

Given that we all know days at the end of the year are a waste, and that none of us want to take days away from spring break, that leaves 1/29, 3/31, and 6/6.

We know we're going to need all three. And we only have a short window of time to make the call on 1/29. It's still plenty far enough away to make than an instructional day.[/quote]

Agree. They should use them in order. I don't even think they'll open on Thursday, so that's 2 days to make up. Use 1/29 and 3/31 for that. Friday, if we are lucky, they will just have a delayed opening.[/quote]

3/31 is Eid al-Fitr. It would be a shame to single out a group again and restrict their ability to celebrate a holiday. I know it would still be excused to miss it, but technically you just get 1 day to make up work. If you are absent and miss the work, you likely wont have time to do it all in one extra day without losing something else. If they do this, I’ll bring my child in for school late, let them sign them in, and then immediate around and pull them out 2 minutes later just to cause hassle as protest.[/quote]

You do you. 3/31 was already identified as one of a limited number of make-up days in the school calendar, and is a far better option than adding days to the end of the year or taking away spring break.[/quote]
