Tell Us: Vacations on Winter Break?

With school calendar changes, some parents consider sticking with their vacation plans.

Thanks to problems related to Hurricane Sandy and the recent blizzard, school districts have cut into vacation time.

Students in both Huntington and South Huntington will be in school most of the week, though those in the latter district will have Monday off. Huntington district students could well lose another vacation day in March because of the need to meet state rules on classroom days.

But some parents are objecting and talking about taking their children out of class so they can go on long-planned vacations.
