If Snow Days Used, School Calendar Could Change

Madison schools opened two hours later Wednesday on account of snow.

Madison schools opened two hours later on Wednesday because of inclement weather.

While the delayed opening does not affect the school calendar, if the district has a full "snow day" this school year, it will need to figure out when to make up the day.

All three of Madison's built-in snow days were used after Superstorm Sandy, and school officials were reviewing the calendar for when other emergency closings could be made up if needed.

The storm closed borough schools for five days, but the district made up two of them by opening when schools were scheduled to be closed for the NJEA convention, which was canceled for the first time in 158 years because of the storm.
