Schools may not have to make up snow days

[diddlysquat]

Another snow day?

Thursday added yet another day to the school year in districts throughout King and Snohomish counties, which had already started planning to make up for three, four — or, in the case of the Riverview School District on the Eastside — eight inclement-weather days. And winter isn't even half over yet.

But as early as today, the state Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction is expected to announce something of a reprieve: Any school district that canceled classes on the day or days after Gov. Christine Gregoire declared a state of emergency may not have to make up those days.

Gregoire declared states of emergency in November for flooding and December for a windstorm. Both declarations remain active.
