PHILADELPHIA - So much snow in the forecast used to mean no school. But, it’s 2020 and with online learning, should snow days be a thing of the past?Winter is descending on the Delaware Valley, bringing the first plowable snowfall in more than two years and millions of school kids are begging for that bit of happiness – a snow day.But, with virtual learning, do students really need snow days?
A good point, to be sure, but some, including school leaders, disagree.“We hope that snow days will always exist, but they are going to be different,” Radnor School District Superintendent Kenneth Batchelor stated.Superintendent Batchelor says there are two snow days built into the district calendar if needed.
