Snow Day Aftermath: Plainfield Board Votes to Extend School Year
Students will have to return after Memorial Day for one last half-day of school.
Plainfield School District students will pay for that snow day.
A March 5 snowstorm prompted District 202 officials to cancel school — a good call, considering Mother Nature dumped nearly nine inches of snow on the Plainfield area that day.
But the unexpected day off will mean a slightly longer wait for summer break. On Monday, the District 202 Board of Education voted to amend the school calendar to make up for lost time.
