[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The 13 days come from the 990 minute requirement. They added 10 minutes to the school day to get the 13 days. [/quote] I've been trying to do the math on this (I think you made a typo - it's a 990 hour requirement right?) How does 10 min extra each day add up to 13 "days" of school? Is a student day considered to be 5.5 hours? 5.5 hours x 60 minutes = 330 minutes needed for one "school day" to get 13 extra snow days therefore you'd need 13x330 minutes = 4290 minutes somehow extra. OK so now to each 180 school days, tack on another 10 minutes. That gains you 180x10 =1800 extra minutes gained. That's not even close to the 4290 minutes you need. 1800 minutes / 330 minutes needed for a school day = 5.45 school "days" not 13. SO where/how did APS get the other 8 extra days? Did they add MORE than 10 min per day? It would have had to be 23 minutes. 180 days x 23 minutes = 4140... pretty close to 13 days now. [/quote]
