Local school officials are scratching their heads over a recent decision from the state board of education to reverse course and not allow school districts to use snow days as remote learning days. Last school year, any day that would’ve been lost to snow was allowed to be used at a remote learning day. But, a frustrated District #348 superintendent Dr. Chuck Bleyer had a blunt assessment of the state’s change of course…
Bleyer told the school board this week, that the district had spent upwards of $350,000 to make remote learning possible. He said no reason was given by the state for policy reversal and even more perplexing was an exception to the rule….
Last year, Bleyer declared that the days of the traditional snow day were over, but now the state has taken that decision out of the control of local districts.
