From a D.C. Public Schools press release Children attending D.C. public schools will be required to be at school 45 minutes longer per day, Superintendent Paul Vance announced yesterday. The extension, which will start on Thursday and continue until May 30, will make up for the eight school days lost as a result of this winter's snowstorms. School days will start 15 minutes earlier and end 30 minutes later. In addition, May 14, which had been scheduled as a day off for students, will be a regular school day. April 4 will still be an early-dismissal day — with kids getting out of school at 1 p.m. Info: http://www.k12.dc.us/dcps/frontpagepdfs/Snowdaysdecision-FINAL.pdf. § |
