Asking the state to waive the 180 day requirement is a waste of effort and time. The comment that, "Those families who take vacation will take them anyway and the kids will go will miss time," is unfortunate but not insurmountable. This parent is basically saying that if some kids will not go, all children should be denied those education days since no days are going to be acceptable. This is a ridiculous stand. My children will go to school, and guess what, I will reschedule any vacation that overlaps with classroom time. It depends what is important for a family. View Comment

You would think with this happening nearly every year now, the Wilton School Board would consider planning five snow days in the schedule and ending the school year a week later in a planned fashion. If the snow days are not needed, then the last week of school is not needed at that point. Giving the days back to the residents of Wilton in May would be far preferable than playing this roulette game every year where "any decision would make some people mad." View Comment
