Because of school days lost to Hurricane Sandy, students will be losing at least the Thursday and Friday of April break, according to administrators.
In the event that this winter does not require emergency snow days, students will still be off from school on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, April 8 to 10, Superintendent Daniel Fishbein said.
However, if students lose more school for snow days, they might lose their spring break completely.
Despite gaining two school days on Nov. 8 and 9 after the cancellation of the NJEA convention in Atlantic City, the district still lost days in excess of the two emergency closure dates built into the calendar each year.
New Jersey law requires students to attend school a minimum of 180 days, and if there is a snowy winter this year, district administrators have said they may need to do away with the rest of April break and possibly even remove days from February break.
