Shortened Spring Break for Frederick students

Spring Break will be shorter for students in the Frederick County public school system. The school system has begun changing its school calender to make up school days lost during February's snowmaggedon.

Tuesday will be a regular school day; the original 2-hour early dismissal is eliminated.

Monday and Tuesday, March 1 and 2, will be regular -- not half -- school days.

As of Feb. 19, Frederick has used 11 snow days. Five were included at the beginning of the year. Students will make up the remaining four days on March 31 and April 1 (the first 2 days of Spring Break); June 11 and June 14.

This still leaves two make-up days for the school system.
