Well MY kids are taking their spring break! My husband and I have already scheduled time off work for their spring break (which I NEVER get) so looks like they’ll be missing those days too…oh well!
Seems to me they should tack on those dates to the end of the school year instead of having their spring break taken from them! DUH!

Thank God we have a Superintendent and Staff that care more about our children than whether you get to go on vacation or not. That’s what summers are for! The State mandates so many hours of instruction for our children and in Santa Rosa County that’s what they’ll get. The comments about Superintendent Wyrosdick are unfounded. Under his guidance, we have one of the best if not the best school systems in the State of Florida. You should be singing the praises of our educators and administrators instead of worrying about your vacation. The last time I checked there is no passport or visa requirement for you to move to Escambia County. Problem Solved…..Enjoy your vacation!!!!!

SANTA ROSA SHOULD LET THE KIDS MAKE DAYS UP ON TEACHER PLANING DAYs

It’s not so much that Santa Rosa cares about the students making up the days they missed. It’s that Wyrosdick doesn’t want the teachers to get away with getting paid for days they didn’t work. You can bet that he will make the teachers work every hour missed, even if the state ends up waiving the days. Escambia teachers will not have to make up the days.

They shouldn’t have to make it up anyway, especially if people have things planned. Maybe this county should get prepared for the next time it happens and roads wouldn’t have to be closed. Take a lesson from the Yankees!. lol

I’m sorry but why wouldn’t Santa Rosa county add days towards the end of school year instead of taking away two of the days during Spring break? Families have already made plans, paid ( non-refundable) vacations. If this stands I can see a lot of kids will be missing school.

No way!! Not spring break, lots of folk have already got trips planned. Jus add few more days to the end if calendar year if needed.

I agree the students should not have to give up their spring break day(s) so use a holiday that doesn’t affect their day lost. Spring break is a time for family who go on a trip or have time together.

Santa Rosa School District should have to make up a day on Presidents Day instead of spring break. They just don’t think ahead.
