School Days by the Numbers

Well,students are back at school today in Gresham after a freak snow storm. The snow melted off after a few hours and now the city is being drenched with rain. The irony is that the district already had a budget reduction day on Tuesday and a day off for Martin Luther King day on Monday. So a four-day weekend turned into a five-day weekend and the three-day week turned into a two-day week with the Friday assembly canceled. The week after this one is semester final week,so all of the days are half days any way. So what does this mean for the month of January? Students in Gresham-Barlow were in school for ten days (excluding semester final week). What does that mean for the students’education? Talk to the teachers,they’ll tell you the truth about January.
