Give schools a pass on snow days

Last week was a record-setter for cold weather. Schools were closed at least 3 if not 4 days. A a result, everyone is looking at going to school through the 1st week of June, if not longer.
I would think Gov. Kim Reynolds could consider giving all schools a pass on making up last week's missed school. Since winter is not over, the likelihood of more missed days is fairly high, thus pushing school further into June.
