Reply to comment by sawamander in Pittsburgh Public School canceled for tomorrow. by UnsurprisingDebris

Depends entirely on district but generally, yes. They have a mandatory number of days they have to have class.

My district has short/non-existent spring break as well, and typically get done by the last week of May. Which is clutch if you're cheap like me and want to book a family vacation at off-peak rates.

That's crazy. My high school would have gotten off around the 16th and wouldn't be back until the 7th-ish.

Wow yeah that's way more than I got. I went to a Catholic school for kindergarten through 8th and then a public high school, and we usually went to only a day or two before Christmas Eve, and then went back around January 3rd or 4th.

Which state are you from? I've never heard of a high school finishing up for the year in mid December.

I'm from Alabama. We started a few weeks earlier than y'all appear to, which probably makes up for some of those days, but that's crazy to me. I would really think that PA would want to try to maximize winter break days for weather safety reasons? We also got a week off for Thanksgiving.

Ah gotcha, the South loves to start school early. Yeah besides Christmas, I don't remember ever getting more than two or three days off at a time for breaks during Thanksgiving and around Easter.
