[quote=Anonymous]10:44, those additional days off would have to come from somewhere. The state mandates that the instructional calendar is 180 days. Half days count as one of those days, so that is why school is not cancelled the day before Thanksgiving. If they cancelled it, that would add a day to the end of the school year. If 12/23 was cancelled, same thing. Adding two days often means going into an additional calendar week at the end of the year and then school ending on like a Tuesday when it could have ended on Friday. Then, people would complain that the summer was too short, they couldn't book their vacation for the third week in June, etc. [/quote]
