Why don schools have more snow days to accommodate winter weather?
A. (Jim Parsons answers) Many districts build in a few extra days in the calendar to account for snow days. The decision to do so, however, rests with each district. If that is matter that is important to parents in the district, you should convey that concern to the school board and administration. But remember, this is not Buffalo, where five snow days per school year would be the norm.
