A 2 hour delay

On a delay morning every school starts 2 hours late.

“January 7, 2026 – Two-hour delay”

4 built in snow days

On the 2026 to 2027 calendar, listed as “snow days”.

“*June 21st is the 180th student day scheduled. However, the school year will end after the 176th student attendance day. This calendar assumes that four "snow days" will occur. If only three snow days occur, the last student day will be June 17th, etc.”

Making up a lost day

Four snow days are built in; the year ends after the 176th attendance day, so June 21 is the latest planned last day.

“6/21 is the 180th day and anticipated last student day, assuming 4 snow days occur.”

The Vermont rule

How Vermont counts a lost day

Vermont requires at least 175 student attendance days a year, with the school board setting the length of the day. A school closed for a cause beyond the board's control may petition the State Board for a waiver, filed within 10 days of each closing and by June 15; if granted the district is treated as having met the requirement.
