Lack of Snow Yields Extra Day Off

The long Memorial Day weekend will be even longer for Plainfield students.

The district needed only one snow day in the 2007-08 school year, so the Board of Education has approved closing schools on Tuesday, May 27, in addition to the Monday holiday.

According to the resolution passed at the May 5 meeting, the district had to remove one day from the calendar "in order not to affect the end of the year testing and graduation activities."
