Sorry teachers. Sorry kids.

Oh, it's not all of spring break, but three days of it. Quoth the press release:

PHILADELPHIA –The School District of Philadelphia announced changes to the SY 2013-14 calendar today to make up for lost instructional days due to inclement weather. 

Schools will now be open on April 15, 16, and 17, days originally designated for Spring Recess.  The projected last day of school for students at this time is Thursday, June 19. 

In the event that schools are closed due to inclement weather or emergency in the coming weeks, District leadership will review the calendar and make further updates as needed.

The general public and media are urged to monitor the District’s website for updates.
