Huh. I'm the netadmin at my school, and me, principals, and office staff (anyone with special access to some stuff) have to change every 60 days. Teachers used to have to do it too, but they changed it like 2 years ago. They can change their password if they want, but they don't actually expire.
As a domain admin, you can go into Active Directory and "reset your password" to what it currently is when it's about to expire and reset the timer. This method also bypasses the "can't set your password to anything you've used in the last X amount of passwords" policy.

Anyway, the new standard these days is to use multi-factor authentication and stop forcing users to change their password every X amount of days. It's much more secure and less annoyance for the end user.
