Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf signed a bill Tuesday that allows schools to replace snow days with “flexible instructional days” — which means students would learn from home and not have to make up the days schools are closed for inclement weather or other emergencies. School districts interested in the option will have to submit an application to the state, detailing how educators will ensure students have access to technology, meet the requirements of special education students and monitor attendance. Leaders of area school districts — which had as many as seven or eight snow days last year — said flex days may be worth pursuing.
