Allotted calamity days disappear

Columbus, OH – The wicked weather this winter is causing headaches for school administrators, teachers and parents. Two-thirds of the school districts in Ohio have used all of their calamity days so far this winter. At least 28 school districts have used more than double the number of allowed calamity days. In an interview with Ohio Public Radio's Jo Ingles, Carla Carruthers of the Ohio Department of Education says school districts are limited on the number of calamity days they can use each year.
