In response to "The way different districts handle snow days is interesting. Mac's school still has snow days built into the calendar. No school on those days." by prayformojo

My memory is that our school had extra days beyond the required built into the school year so they could cancel X without needing to make them up.

If no snow events used them up, tough break, kiddos, you get some extra learnin'.

Actually, snow days were rare for us, but "ice on the road" days happened every year.

back when I was a kid, it was it better be Donner Party levels of snowfall or your butt was in class -- nm - old man crash Feb 1, 07:48 6
- We were a pretty rural district, so the main determinant was whether the buses could make the rounds on the country roads. - Mony Baroney Feb 1, 07:57 5
  - the county roads were our determinant as well - as a kid, I felt the bus drivers were way too competent -- nm - crash davis Feb 1, 08:01
  - For us, we were a rural school in a suburban district so as long as the suburbs cleared the streets, we had school. - spamlet Feb 1, 07:58 3
    - some of the farm kids had to walk a fair bit to alternate pick up points, but by gosh, we were going to have school -- nm - crash davis Feb 1, 08:08 2
      - My wife also grew up in a rural area and they had formal snow routes where kids had to get to the blacktop to get picked up. -- nm - spamlet Feb 1, 08:18
      - and it seemed like everyone owned a pair of snowmobiling boots - crash davis Feb 1, 08:10
