[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OSSE has extremely lax rules about what counts as a school day. It allows schools to claim they are in session for 180 days when any normal person tallying up the days would not come anywhere close to 180 days. It's really scandalous. [/quote]

Can't even count on DC schools to meet the legal minimum standard. [/quote]

Fun fact: There is this thing called google. You can google "dcps calendar" and then the calendar magically appears. So you can look at the calendar and see the two snow days built in making the last day June 23rd. It's pretty amazing. Look at the calendar. Count the number of days of school and you will see 180 days!!! The legal requirement!!!

But gosh, June 23rd is a Monday. Womp womp. Cue in the parents complaining about the vacation they already booked. Take out the Kleenex for the parents who had already signed up for summer camp. I hope central office and principals have cleared out their inboxes for all the sad and angwee emails they are about to get. Lonely tear.

But wait! Maybe we make up our snow days on the PD days! Oh, again, I hope principals and central office clear out their inboxes because families booked a three day trip for that made up day! It's the cheapest time of year to fly to Utah. So angwee. So sad. Boo hoo. [/quote]

Good job completely missing the point. Of course, every school claims to be meeting the 180 day requirement. No one says they are ignoring the law. But if you count up the actual days in session, many of these schools are nowhere close to 180. [/quote]

Many of these schools? Is Mann different from Seaton? didn't think so.We are talking about DCPS- not charter. "Will DCPS ignore snow days again in June"[/quote]
