If some or most people have no plans scheduled around graduation time but at least 50 people do, why not accommodte those who have plans? Seriously, if you have no plans, what possible difference could it make when graduation is held?

but between 8th graders and 12th grade seniors graduating this makes up about 600 students who would not have to deal with the heat of the school for another whole week....just let all out at the same time.
Shorten or forget April break and lets all move on! If someone has a vacation in April, just let them go!!

I would like to see us eliminate or shorten Spring Break and leave end school as originally planned.
If we don't use the 2 snow days by the break, you can add 2 days in that week of spring break.
I think most would understand canceling the break because of the hurricane situation.
If we have a weather emergency after spring break, we can add on a Saturday or an additional day end June to Hubbard or Smith if they need it to keep from falling below state mandate.
We had a year when Hubbard had to go back an additional half day, and people understood.
If people have vacations planned, they can keep their plans.
This entire conversation is getting really out of hand and we need to move on.
We had many years without a full week in April, so its not a big deal.
At least graduation and summer plans can go on as scheduled and the additional week in the heat won't be a factor for the younger kids, camps, etc....

why do all the schools have to get out at the same time. you could still lengthen the school year for the rest but the HS graduates could get out a week early. that is done all over the place, almost all schools in NY do it that way.

I don't really understand why days aren't being taken from spring break.

Wast it also a declared state of emergency? if so how were schools supposed to be open, so I dont understand why the days have to be made up. Why does Ramsey have to go more days than required by state law? Oh I know the contracts with the school board, but in the case of a state of emergency, why not put those extra days aside? there is not much going on in schools the last few weeks anyway, kids watching movies and playing outside isnt going to do much for test scores if that is the issue. Just saying!!!!!

What about all the schools in South Jersey that lost more than a week. There is no way that they will have 180 days this year. This is an unusual year and lets just do the best we can even if we fall a little short of the 180,

the whole idea of makeing up those days seems silly! we are going to have kids out on the playground for a week doing nothing. I dont think for one minute that there will be any "learning going on in classrooms that are already too hot come MAy, now your pushing it to end of June. Seems that the state could give a bit of leeway this year since it was such an unusual situation.

My original point also was why cant the senirs just graduate on time and if you really insist let the rest of the kids go the extra days. Its done all over the place. I remeber gradutaions were early June for HS even though the rest of the kids had another week or even two.
