Back in my old career we had a district manager who would close the office at the slightest risk of ice or snow. We always found that peculiar until we found out that at his old office a woman who worked for him died due to icing after staying late at work His guilt haunted him
Those were the right call in those areas. Heck, we only had 5” and the roads were a mess during morning school drive times. Doing it early gives parents more time to arrange care etc if needed.
I do think it was exacerbated by the staffing issues.
Yeah. It typically has to be super cold for them to call off school. Jan 2004 etc. it has happened a couple (3-4?) times since I have taught (2000). But usually wind chills of -20 or so
It has been mostly "normal" for most kids this year. If someone is positive they miss a week or so. Most materials, etc are available online so they can do some of the catchup work at home if motivated. That goodness we are staying in person
Pretty much as forecast. Watch the MWRA poop numbers... that is the best way to view how widespread it is in those communities. Not everyone tests... everyone poops
I plan on having my 1 window at least partially open. Some of these clients are stinky... It has more to do with kids waiting at bus stops and riding on busses with windows open
