re: For Those With Kids

This whole thing is ridiculous. A kid's life is not going to change because they attended 5 less days of school this year. Just let it be and move on. No need to make up days at all.

While I agree with you in large part, it's also about financial accountability. Schools get money from the state and national government to fulfill a certain number of instructional and contract days for students and employees.

If you don't make them make those days up, schools could close at the merest hint of snow if they wanted to as a cost saving measure. What would stop a school from knocking 20 days off the school year then taking the extra money and funneling it into raises for administration or teachers?
