NYC Schools Cut Winter Break to Make Up for Sandy

Students everywhere cry

New York City public schools are cutting winter break short to make up for the unexpected closings they faced because of Hurricane Sandy. City officials announced Monday that the last three days of winter break week, February 20-22, will be full school days instead of vacation days. Additionally, a half-day scheduled in June will now be a full class day as well. Eighteen schools still remain closed because of the storm. The city has about 1.1 million students in 1,750 public schools. (NBC News)
