Did anyone just see this on WBTV. Rowan County decided to have the students make up being out of school before this snow ice has melted. What a hoot

These the genius people that decided to have school on a weekend? Why not just add a week onto the end of the year?

North Carolina requires students to attend at least 125 or is it 127? Anyways schools need to be closed by June 10th.

It was 180 days in Virginia when I was in school. It always snowed a lot there. It was not uncommon for us to go up till June 14th or 15th due to missing so much school.

There is a groups (Save our Summers North Carolina, SOS NC, public school calendar laws, school year calendar legislation) that worked very hard to get the school calendar law passed. I don't remember the exact dates, but it is something like school cannot start before Aug 24th and must end by June 10. It has played havoc with school calendars every since.

We can't, by state law. We had Saturday make-up days in Wake, due to the year round schools. Many parents, including me, prefered it to loosing a long weekend that we usually had plans for.

I wonder how the high country schools Watuga, Avery, Burke etc are going to make up their school days. They have been out for at least 3 weeks maybe more.

One year in Northern Va we were out for 12 days some of them were forgiven and the others were made up by adding 30 mins to the end of each day( a few mins to each class) until it was made up.

Apparently here you cannot go pass specified date, therefore as a result it limits some options.
