At least a half dozen school districts in Putnam and Westchester counties have had to give up professional development days or parts of spring break to make up lost instructional time.
Lakeland Central School District used all of its six snow days earlier this winter -- plus a seventh day for inclement weather on Thursday -- so it will give up a Superintendent's Conference Day on March 20 to maintain the state minimum of 180 instructional days for the 2014-15 school year.
If another day is needed, Lakeland's calendar designates Monday April 6 -- the day after Easter --for a makeup day.
Brewster Central School District announced that it has canceledthe early dismissal previously planned for Wednesday, March 11, and that it will now be a regular, full day of school. Also, school will now be in session on March 30, March 31 and April 6.
Yorktown Central School District had to steal three days from its spring breaks to make up for snow days. Yorktown used five allotted snow days, plus three more days. So Yorktown schools will be in session Monday March 30, Tuesday March 31 and Monday April 6. If more days are need in Yorktown, they will be taken in the following order from spring recess: Wednesday April 1, Thursday April 2 and Friday April 3.
Hendrick Hudson Schools maxed out on four snow days, and subbed one professional development day, but has not had to dip into other time off. Like many other districts, Hendrick Hudson students would lose Monday April 6 if any more time has to be taken for foul weather.
Peekskill City School District also used all of its snow days, and would be in session on March 30 in the event of another lost day.
