Hello,
We sure have seen some crazy weather lately, huh? Well, enough is enough, the time to act is now!
Across Massachusetts, tens of thousands of men and women have been trapped – trapped at home with their children. Worst of all, they have mostly been stuck indoors. Shocking, we know. Help end the suffering and join us in signing this petition to cancel school vacation next week. Let’s let Governor Baker know we’ve had it! Send the kids to school the week of February 16th through February 20th and save the parents!
Really, would you rather be in school now or when all this snow is long gone in July? You decide!

The snow keeps piling up and the cabin fever in my house is reaching an all-time high. I have been fielding calls from parents who are just as desperate to get their sanity back as I am.

The momentum behind this push is absolutely incredible. We are all feeling the same cabin fever and it is clear that parents across the state are ready to get their kids back into the classroom.

I am a child therapist and also work with families. It is already bad enough that our children's education has taken a hit with snow days, which we can not control, but we can control weather more days of during this snowy season is allowed. As it is, many school systems will not continue school into July regardless of how many snow days since they just are not equipped to handle the heat. Please cancel February Vacation so we do not continue to compromise the children's education further. Thank you
have no kids en school but work in school and need a pay. dont get paid for snow days
What about the staff and families that have already booked and paid for vacations? What would it cost school districts to pay for substitutes for all of the unavailable staff? I believe the answer is to no longer have February and April vacations. Just have 1 week in March like the private schools.
canceling the vacation in February runs a huge risk of more snow days!! You would then have canceled the vacation and also have to cancel the make up days when it snows next week...and you know it will
Cancel it now but grant leniency for those that had already made plans to go away.
they never closed school when I went
go to school

In the future, perhaps both February and April vacation weeks could be cancelled with no March vacation week (meaning eight more days of class), but I think that will happen only if the school year is extended from 180 to 190 or 195 days. Let school districts only need to have 170 days of class this year! This is a one-time problem.
