Why do school administrators want to keep school open on snow days?

700 views

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.

There are two reasons. The amount of cancelled lessons is counted in most places and a lot of cancelled lessons is something that can make the administration of a school look bad. The other thing is that during cancelled lessons nothing is taught but the curriculum stays the same. So teachers have to teach more in the remaining time and restructure their planning which most teachers don’t like to do.
