Β CHARLOTTE, NC –Β Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools and most other school districts in our area are closed for a third straight day Friday.
The snow days are starting to cut into spring break for kids in Charlotte, and that’s becoming a hot topic.
While students threw snowballs, made snowmen, and rode the slopes in neighborhoods Thursday, there’s a big question on parents minds:Β when are their kids going to make these snow days up?

βI don’t know what the school system is going to do to please everybody,” said Chris Bishop, a Cotswold resident.Β

TheΒ Β 2013-2014Β CMS calendar lists April 14 and 15 as makeup days, which means, as it stands, spring break is down to three days.Β

“It stinks, but I think it’s necessary,” said Amy Spears, a South Charlotte resident.Β But that’s not a popular option.
Β
CMS officials say they’ll consider other options, like Saturday school.Β

“We’re not going on the weekends. She’ll just stay home. Those are our days!” said Charlotte Ramirez, a South Charlotte resident.
Β
Other options are holding classes on holidays, or extending school days.

“We have three elementary school children, and our days are already longer than most in the state, so I don’t think these kids needs to spend any more time in school than they already are,” said Caroline Biber, a Cotswold resident.Β
