With year round classes they wouldn't have to worry about these things

@APBACKER
Yes, they would...
Just because a school is "year round" doesn't mean it doesn't have a minimum number of class days.

This is an ongoing commentary. Year around just means that there are more breaks throughout the year, extending the school year and shortening the summer break (while allowing for other breaks throughout the year). Year around school has the EXACT same requirements as a traditional calendar and those schools are having the same challenges right now as they come up with solutions to make up for days missed due to snow.
