Corrections
How to tell us about a mistake on Snow Day Calculator, and what we do about it.
If anything on this site is wrong, whether a state’s rule, a district’s time, a number or a sentence, we want to fix it.
How to tell us
Email contact@snowdaycalculator.website with:
- the address of the page;
- what looks wrong, and what you expected;
- a link to an official source if you have one: a state law, the state education department, your district’s own page or the National Weather Service.
What we do
We check what you sent against the official record and against the calculator’s published rules. If we got something wrong, we correct it. When a correction changes what a page says, rather than only its wording, the page says what changed and when.
What a correction is not
A snow day chance that did not come true is not a mistake in itself: the calculator gives chances, and a 70% chance means school stays open about three times in ten. If the forecast changed overnight, the chance changes with it. If you think the rule of thumb itself is off for your area, tell us what your district did and when: it helps us improve it.
