Montgomery County Public School buses remained idle as schools were closed Jan. 25, 2016, in Bethesda, Maryland. Students in one South Carolina school district will still have work to do even when it snows. Anderson School District 5 is the first district in the state to eliminate snow days with what it calls eLearning days. When the roads are too icy for buses, teachers will send assignments to their students’ computers and can even monitor their progress online. “No longer will we need to run buses mid-June for a makeup day that only a quarter of our students attend,” Superintendent Tom Wilson told the Anderson Independent-Mail. The state Education Oversight Committee gave the district permission in May to serve as a pilot program for no more snow days.
