Any more snow days and students will be in school April 1, Schools Supt. Ralph Iassogna said Wednesday afternoon.
The February break from Feb. 19 to Feb. 23 is gone, but Monday Feb. 19 is still a day off, Iassogna said. The Board of Education will deal with any future snow days as they come.
Iassogna said despite the 90-minute delay Wednesday morning, "we were able to open without major school-generated issues."
Police had to clear a major traffic jam in the Daniels Farm Road/Strobel Road area that backed the road up for 40 minutes, according to the superintendent.
That area is home to Hillcrest Middle School, Trumbull High School and Daniels Farm School.
Iassogna thanked Stamford, which donated plowing services; the Trumbull High School Owner's Representative Company, AFB, for getting a structural engineer to inspect the roofs; and the schools' custodial and maintenance staff.
It took more than 100 people to remove excess snow at three schools, he said.

Iassogna also thanked Public Works Director John Marsilio for using his staff to help clear snow and open schools.
"Thanks for your patience as we jointly deal with weather-related issues," Iassogna said.
The loss of the Feb vacation was the result of maxing out on the snow days tacked on at the of the year. The schools accumulated 5 days during the Superstorm, 1 day on a November 8th snow storm, 1 snow day in early January, and then 3 additional days this week. Just in case you needed further assistance, that's a total of 10 days and it is still winter. I hope that we simplified enough for you.
