Charter School Students Making Up Snow Day on Good Friday

The Christa McAuliffe Charter School in Framingham announced its plans on how to make up its 8 snow days.

The first snow day will be made up on Friday, April 3, which is good Friday.

The rest of the days will be made up after the 180th day of school, which falls on Wednesday, June 17.

Thus, the last day of school, if there are no more snow days, will be Friday, June 26.

Graduation for the middle school Class of 2015 will be on Tuesday, June 23.

“Based on YOUR feedback as well as that from our faculty and staff, it is clear that holding school over April break will be disruptive at best and extremely challenging to deal with coverage needs within the school,” wrote Charter School Executive Director Kristin Harrison in an email to parents. “At this time, we will plan to maintain April break as a vacation.”

The Charter school, based in Framingham, has students from several MetroWest communities, but the majority from Framingham.

The Charter School, while a public school with no tuition, does not have a union for teachers and is not overseen by a School Committee. It does have a board of directors.
