On the one hand, I think legally they have to, because there's a minimum number of days the kids must be in school... but on the other, I think that's the sort of thing the governor could easily override in special circumstances. My stepkids' school in Houston was closed for a week due to the hurricane last year, and they didn't extend their school year to make up for it as far as I know.
