I know it’s not an easy decision. There was a guy who tried to show me up a few storms back on this very topic. I get it, sure…but it’s their job and they have the best forecasters supposedly advising them. We should never put teachers and students in danger, absolutely, but their seems to be minimal attention on the affects to parents. We both wfh so no big deal but we not all parents can and not all parents can take PTO either. The worst is daycare though. When they close, you still pay for the day and end up scrambling to find a sitter, which you pay $15-$20/hr for. It’s a double whammy, fairly substantial imo.
All I am saying is to make the hit on families worthwhile. A true ‘snowstorm’ closure.
