Ohio Gov. John Kasich signs a bill to grant school districts additional calamity days before a group of students at the Statehouse in Columbus, Ohio. Snow, ice and harsh temperatures caused many districts across Ohio to exhaust the school year's five allowable calamity days, most commonly called "snow days," in which schools can close without making up the lost instructional time. Ohio schools will receive four extra calamity days this year under the bill. (AP Photo/Ann Sanner)
