Today was another snow day. That's three in a row and seven for the year. Since the 2010-2011 school calendar only allows for five snow days, the last day of school is now May 31, the day after Memorial Day.
Needless to say, a lot of parents and students are irate. Many people plan vacations around Memorial Day weekend. In addition, public pools will open on Saturday, May 28, and count on students to fill various positions.
I don't understand the problem. Unless we need more snow days before the season ends, why would it be a big deal to shorten second semester by one day? In fact, second semester is already ten days longer than first semester!
I'm sure the Rockwood administration has not heard the end of this. But parents should take note. If a family has school-aged children, it's wise not to make plans for the first week of summer vacation.
