Is there something in it for them? I’m pretty sure they get paid even if school is called off. For example today, there is snow, local colleges have announced that they will be closed. Our nearest local high school though announced there might be an early release but they hope not? And it is the Friday before spring break week off, seems like they would welcome the extra day off doesn’t it.

In the US, most states require 180 school days per year, though it does vary state to state. There is typically a moderate allowance of days that can be missed due to closure without needing to make those days up. Let’s say that allowance is 7. So a school could close for up to 7 days throughout the year and would still remain on track to finish the school year on schedule.
But if they need to close for an 8th day (or more), then those additional days need to be made up. It can be made up by shortening an upcoming holiday break or by adding those days to the end of the year.
