will use two planned teacher workdays

instruction.

After nearly a foot of snow fell in
Chapel Hill and Carrboro, Orange
County Schools declared cancellations
on Jan. 3 and 4 and enacted two-hour
delays on the mornings of Jan. 7 and 8.
“The roads were just entirely too dan
gerous for school buses,” said Karen
Wallace-Meigs, coordinator of public
information for the Orange County
Schools. “The superintendent has the
ultimate authority to cancel scho >l."
School officials have schedultu make
up days for Feb. 15 and March 28.
Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools
did not officially begin the spring semes
ter until Jan. 7, so schools operated on
a two-hour delay on Jan. 7 and 8.
Although Orange County students
had the opportunity to enjoy two addi
tional days of Winter Break, the cancel
lations impacted individual lesson plans
and teacher work schedules.
Some teachers said the school can
cellations will cause delays and certain
alterations in their lesson plans.
“When I came back, 1 looked at my
plan book and said, ‘Oh, I’m two days
behind now,’” said Pam Lamason, a
third-grade teacher at New Hope
Elementary.
“The kids were very excited about
the snow though.”
Lamason said she was forced to com
bine separate lessons into one and elim
inate special programs to compensate
for time lost.

News
Because teachers have now lost two
workdays, they will have to make up the
time by working extra days.
“I hate snow,” said Barbara
Chapman, principal of New Hope
Elementary. “But you know, (school
cancellations) are something we sigh
and just have to be philosophical
about.”
Chapman said New Hope
Elementary had previously planned a
quality tools workshop for Feb. 15, but
school administrators will now have to
reschedule the workshop for another
teacher workday.
As teachers and students alike make
the transition into the new school semes
ter, administrators hope that there will
be no need for more cancellations.
“I’ve heard that we’re supposed to get
some more snow in the coming
months,” said Chapman.
“My preference would be no more
snow, but that would not be what the
children want.”
