Nooooo! They can't do that!! I used to LOVE the fact that we had two vacations and that they happened when resorts and things were less crowded. That was one of the things I missed most about school in New England when we moved away!

When I was in HS in the Boston area - my school didn't grant snow days. Stupid school prided itself on not missing a single day of school due to snow since the blizzard of '78. Apparently during that one, the state police were dispatched to turn the busses around and take the kids home in my town - depsite a state of emergency! When I was in HS (80's) the newscasters use to joke that it was easier to just state which schools were open during snow storms - just ours. It was ridiculous. I hope that it has changed since then...that was stupid and dangerous!
