I appreciate that the snow days are built into the schedule so that missed days don't have to be made up; howvever, when unused it results in an unnecessarily long school year for students and their families.

Fifteen snow days are not necessary for LCPS. Give the days back to the students and teachers so LCPS can save $.

I agree 100%. Unfair that we didn't have any snow days and that our winter break was hecka short. Oh golly

As a teacher for LCPS the thought of working 15 days for free does not make me happy when other counties around us release their schools early for unused snow days. Please consider this for the sake of the teachers and students.

Since no snow days were used the schools should end earlier.

I agree that some of the snow days could, and should, be "given back" to the students, staff and faculty. The two questions, for me, are how to do it (three day weekends, longer Spring Break, earlier end of school year) and is it a teacher workday or is school completely closed?
As a side note, and truly not trying to be snotty to anyone but before you post a comment on a petition about not wasting student and teachers time due to unnecessary instruction, please make sure your post doesn't contain spelling or grammatical errors. It hurts the cause.

Other counties are considering making this year shorter. We should, too.

We need a snow day! 15 days are provided for us for snow days and we didn't use any of them yet. All 15 of those snow days are NOT going to our summer vacation there just going in the trash. Please give us at least one snow day that's all were asking. We made a whole petition for one snow day. Does that not tell you anything?

LCPS should absolutely consider closing earlier this year, as well as making the Monday after Easter a day off. Save money, boost morale and allow families to take advantage of early June discounts for vacations!

Please return to a school year that begins after Labor Day. That was the policy when I grew up in Fairfax county public schools and it was a great system.
