Snow Days Continue to Add Up
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- It's going to be stick-your-nose-to-the-grindstone from now until summer for students across West Virginia.
A series of storms that dumped more than 100 inches of snow across the mountains this winter has some school districts struggling to make up near-record numbers of snow days.
Many schools are canceling field trips, eliminating theater productions and other in-school activities, turning professional development days into instructional days and delaying the last day of school.
Eight school districts have missed 20 days or more of school, 40 have missed between 10 and 19 while eight have missed fewer than 10.
The West Virginia Department of Education says there's only been two days since Jan. 1 when all schools in all 55 counties opened without delays.
