\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\nTwo weeks ago, Stapleton was hammered by a massive snowstorm, or at least what people in Denver consider a massive snowstorm. There were several inches of snow on the ground plus \u201csnowy-like\u201d conditions.\n\nSnow in Denver causes a lot of chaos, including but not limited to: worse than normal driving, cancellations of events, early closures of restaurants, and even worse, closures of liquor stores.\nTypically, the Denver Public School system is not immune to these closures. However, for some reason, this last winter storm did not cause any school cancellations, which shocked Stapleton residents. \u201cI could not believe it when I found out school was still on,\u201d said Krista Hendricks. \u201cI mean, I feel like they cancel for any reason possible. Suffice it to say, I was extremely happy with their decision.\u201d\nThe news was very surprising to Stapleton residents who have grown accustomed to school cancellations which cause several challenges on the home front. Parents must try to arrange daycare, call in sick themselves, or tell the boss they will be \u201cworking from home.\u201d Working from home is a nice option, however when Denver students already get so many full and half days off, extra days like snow days tend to frustrate peoples’ bosses.\nDenver Public Schools Superintendent Tom Boasberg had this to say. \u201cOne of the things we are working on is trying to limit the number of snow days. What ends up happening is that the days do not get made up on the back end due to vacations that are planned for right when school gets out. Plus, the teachers pretty much stop trying by May.\u201d Sorry, kids, looks your extra days off just got reduced by 30%.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
