          Our school cancellation and make-up day policies have been around for several years. Some people agree with it with others do not.

The policy for cancellation is that if the weather does not permit safe transportation, there will be a delay or cancellation, depending on the severity of conditions. If a cancellation does occur, it will be made up on a previously designated day.

 Senior John Bonivich and sophomore Brian Ishee do not like the policy.

            Bonivich said that, if he could make changes to the policy, he would make it so we could have five days cancelled and not make them up. He said that this is the way it is done in Ohio, and it would be a good idea to apply here.

            Ishee said that his change to the policy would be to give “at least two free days before you have to make up canceled days.”

            Neither of the two feels that we should have to make up either cancellations or two-hour delays.

            Spanish instructor Mrs. Stoner said that she would not change the cancellation policy because it is fair. However, Mrs. Stoner also thinks that it would be a good idea to make up two-hour delays.
