Making Up Snow Days in Delaware

Don Rush

DOVER, Del. (AP) - After the winter forced schools to miss class days, Delaware's school districts are working to make up the lost time.

Some districts built enough time into the school year and no makeup days will be needed. Alexis Andrianopoulos, spokeswoman for the Brandywine School District, tells The Wilmington News Journal  that four full days were missed, and there were two delayed openings and two early dismissals during the winter.

But no makeup days will be needed, she said.

Elementary school in the Red Clay district will have full days instead of previously scheduled half days on May 14 and 15. In the Smyrna School District, May 1 will be a regular class day instead of a teacher in-service day.
