Will January 16th and February 20th be used as snow make-up days if needed? If not, why are there no snow days built in the calendars for this year or next year?

All snow days, if needed, are built in to the 2011-2012 calendar from May 21 to May 25 - the week ending with graduation - for two reasons:
1. Families often make plans for those three day weekends.
2. If more than two snow days are necessary, the year would be extended anyway. With graduation on the last day of school the dilemma became the possibility of having to change the graduation date for over 500 students and their families, or expect that graduates would come back for extra make-up days after graduation.
