[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school district didn't choose to close.  They HAD to close.   We don't have enough workers to safely operate.

But this isn't some kind of "free snow day".  We are going to have to add an extra day now to the end of the school year.   Kids need 180 days of school and as school is closed today, we'll need to add a day to make it back to 180.[/quote]

Why? Does the PGCPS calendar not include a few extra days over 180?[/quote]

Nope.   We have 180 school days in our calendar with June 9th 2017 as the last student day.

We also have 4 days designated as makeup days.   But they aren't "built in" as extra days.   If we miss one of our 180 student days of instruction, we take one of the 4 designated days.   If we miss none, we take none.

So they haven't said this yet, but I am assuming that instead of students last day being Friday June 9th it will have to be Monday Jun 12th.  And teacher last day will now be Tuesday June 13th.   Unless we get some kind of waiver.  But why would anyone give us a waiver?
