This day was set aside as a contingent day in the event the district used all its emergency closure days. 

NYS School Districts are required to provide 180 days of instructional time. Many districts ac count for possible snow days or other emergencies when creating their inst ructional calendars. By having a contingency day\, schools can avoid addin g extra days to the end of the school year to make up for lost time. This helps maintain the established end date for the school year.
