Personally, I think taking a day or two away from February or April break isn&#039;t such a bad idea. If teachers already have plans that can&#039;t be cancelled, let them use a personal/sick day or two. If parents and students do, let the absences be excused. I realize that not everyone will be happy, no matter what arrangements are made, but no one wants to be in school on June 30th, either! It was smart to work the 4 days into the calendar. I&#039;d rather they take the days away from current breaks than from the summer.
