Snow days are fun for everyone, but what goes into deciding on one?
In the winter almost every day is a choice for the superintendent. A morning drive, communicating with local road commissions, talking to other superintendents and local weather alerts all come into play. The snow fall varies in a state like Michigan, so the superintendents must locally make that choice. Michigan law grants 6 days for forgiven time that can be used for snow days. If too many days are missed, the school may reschedule full days. State law states that districts are to have 1098 hours of teaching, So you could imagine the pressure on the superintendent when calling a snow day.
"On a snow day I like to sit around and watch Netflix." - Emily Collier
"What I want to do is read, watch movies and drink hot chocolate. But I end up shoveling and doing chores." - Ayla Skyler
It's important to have a day off every once and a while to rest your mind and body. Also with school being cancelled the chance for accident goes down, so your cars also get a rest. Wether you choose to be productive or lazy on your snow day, I think we can all agree that they are beneficial.
