How many snow days do we have to make up? The answer is no more than ten.
The MSTA’s article on Missouri’s snow day policy explains:
A few years ago, the state legislature passed a bill that was intended to put an end to the practice of piecemeal legislation forgiving snow days. Every year, different parts of the state would face inclement weather and the legislature would be asked to passes laws to forgive excessive days off.
. . .
School days missed for weather cannot be made up by adding minutes or hours onto remaining school days.
. . .
Every school day missed must be made up until you miss the seventh day. At that point, one day must be made up for every two days missed until 14 days are missed. After the 14th day, no more days are required to be made up.
