Snow days and the length of the school year

E-mail

New Zealand Post Primary Teachers' Association / Te Wehengarua (PPTA) advice to members regarding snow days and the length of the school year.

Where a  school is  closed  as  the result of an emergency (such as a snow  day ) the  school may be allowed  to reduce by a  corresponding  amount the number of  half  days  it is  required  to be open in a given year.  

The  school has to write to the local MOE  seeking permission to do this.
