If you mean did they talk about how we'd decide how to make up the snow days with the allotted dates on our calendar? No. But they did use the "Things to Know" newsletter to address criticism around their decision to remain closed for a third day.[/quote]

Maybe if they just ignore the problem it will go away.[/quote]

Has someone explained to Taylor that we're going to need make-up days? It's crazy they didn't bring that up at the meeting.[/quote]

They always wait until they know the total number of days needed to make up.[/quote]

That doesn't make any sense. [b]Then we'll have already gone past most of the make-up days.[/b]

That might have made sense in past when it was easier for districts to aks for a waiver, but we know we're going to need to add at least one day.[/quote]

No, we'll still have 7 out of the 10 makeup days available.[/quote]

That's counting the days at the very end of the year. No one wants to use those.[/quote]

No one wants to, and yet, they exist.

I predict they will change 3/31 or 6/6 to an early release day, or both if needed. Then they won't have to extend the year.[/quote]

These days are both Eid holidays for Muslims.[/quote]

Yes, and they are also possible makeup days. 1/29 is also Lunar New Year. The other five makeup days will extend the school year into the week of June 16th. Some people are bound to be unhappy regardless of which day is selected.[/quote]

They really should stop gambling and just build in more snow days.[/quote]

How about we cut the number of built-in days instead.[/quote]

Why would they do that?[/quote]

DP but pretty sure PP was being sarcastic, in that that is what they are doing next year -- going from 2 built-in days to just 1.[/quote]
