Saturday School?

Hey...we could be Alamance County, where their children will have to make up one of their snow days this Saturday. And it's drawing a mixed reaction across the area.

Burlington Times-News:

Superintendent Randy Bridges said having school on Saturday avoids using a day of spring break as a make-up day. He said some students' families have already made travel plans for the break.

While holding school on Saturday may not be convenient for everyone, the school system has limited choices. Bridges noted that state law does not allow students to be in school more than five days a week. Between now and the end of the school year, he said, there are three potential make-up days that would allow the school system to meet that requirement. Bypassing one of those days is a bad idea, he said, "because we don't know what the future holds weather-wise."
