Trumbull Public Schools Lose Feb. Vacation

Monday, Feb. 18, is still a day off because of Presidents' Day.

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.
