The board could decide to add time to the school day like in years past to make up for the missed hours.

Law requires students to be in school for 180 days or 990 hours of instruction.

A decision is expected be made at Thursday night's meeting.

The snow Tuesday night into Wednesday could also play a role in the decision.
