mic730,
You won't be surprised to learn that we have not curtailed ANY sports activities. Even our band still travels with the team(s) requiring two extra buses and a van to pull the equipment trailer (which was vandalized Thursday night by a neighboring school).
We have, however, curtailed any "unnecessary" field trips. Thursday evening many of our fine arts students were scheduled to go to see "The Phantom of the Opera" at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. The school board tried to squash this trip (non-refundable $60 tickets paid for by parents). Needless to say, there was a serious backlash!
The trip went on as scheduled except that they were permitted to take only one bus. As a result, several teachers who were attending chose to drive their own vehicles taking their children and friends. (There wasn't enough room on the bus for everyone otherwise.) While there were still plenty of chaperones on the bus, I think most parents would have preferred more.
Some schools in the northern reaches of the state may have snow days built in (Rabun County, for example). However, we are in northeastern Georgia with no snow days built into the schedule because we don't need them. Georgia state policy is: If the school year ends on a Friday and there are less than two snow days, the days are "forgiven." (Translation: We don't make them up.) Consequently, almost every district ends the year on a Friday, and we don't plan for snow.
NOTE: Conservation is a wonderful lesson to teach students; however, it is difficult to teach planning, goal-setting, and objectives when we get shot in the foot.
