Snow days, furlough days...what's in store for Snohomish's students | Schools

All of last week's snow may have caused a bunch of changes around Snohomish and its schools, but this week isn't affected.

As the students head home early, it is a reminder that this week is a Furlough Week in the Snohomish School District. That means all schools will be on half-day schedules to make up for some of the money lost by state cuts to education funding. It also keeps the district on its state-mandated 180-day schedule.

But what about those snow days? A decision hasn't been officially made, but expect the school year to be extended. A note on the school district calendar says that all make-up days will be made up at the end of the year. So, while at this point June 18 is the official end of the school year, expect the year to probably be extended to at least June 21.

So, last week's snow likely means a slightly shorter summer for Snohomish's students.
