making up school days

[Racer X]

Minty is right. The time must be made up. Federal funding demands X days of classroom study for the students. All these extra days off the kids get these days push back the last day of school by almost 2 weeks compared to when I was a little sprog. I believe the number is 180. That's why when there is a teachers strike in the fall, the kids may be going to school in July. They have no option if they want federal funds.
