Hearing "school's closed today" is music to most students and staff members. But, miss too many days and you have to make 'em up or miss a ton of funding. So, the Minnesota House and Senate have been working on a way to help our schools.

Basically, the bill would let school districts count 3 snow days as actual school days. There's been some back and forth, and negotiating, but basically, that's the deal. The MN House just passed a revised version, and now the MN Senate will take it up. Which could mean the Governor will have a chance to sign it soon.

For some school districts, three days barely cut into the snow-day count, and those students and staff will likely be spending a lot of time making up those days so they don't lose funding for not meeting the 165 instructional day rule.
