I applaud the school districts that cancel in session education but still conduct the educational process online. I dunno. I think snow days should be snow days. Kids need to be kids, not robots. I just question the superintendents who get their forecasts from Mt Tolland. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course, give them 100% certainty about road conditions, sidewalk & parking lot conditions during the 2-hour window needed for a complete bus run on early dismissal days. Maybe also take on all the legal and insurance liability should you be off by a few minutes and an icing situation causes a bus accident... Make sure you coordinate with all other towns your town may share bus routes & programs with? Lastly, when they ask you about the WXA that is effect, tell them not to worry about it's just a NWS scare tactic. Of course, if travel becomes hazardous during the bus trips home, get ready for your phone to ring endlessly as parents scream at you that there was a WXA being in effect! Just some comments from a guy who has spent more than 30 years fielding questions and organizing conference calls with dozens (90 to be exact) of Superintendents at 4 am during potentially hazardous conditions. They all want to have normal days. But they will almost always err on the side of safety unless the confidence level of no chance of hazardous travel is high. Exactly. I had the responsibility of calling off work for 100 employees with huge implications on financial bottom line. Sometimes 50k to 100k if large events were scheduled that day. My best call was 12/13/07. I called work an hour before that wall came in. Everyone made it home. We lost a 75 k Bar mitza that night. We all remember the nightmares in New England that day. The CEO of Foxwooss called me and thanked me. I was trusted after that and did not make an uneeded call once. But believe me I took a lot of shit from a lot of people but safety is number one as you said. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROOSTA Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 ICE is not something to mess with! PERIOD Even a .01"in will wreak havoc. Prudent to err on the side of caution in closures. Crazy world passing judgement on everything. The more people know judgement gets skewed and tailored to their liking. Another 80F day down here.

You know the State that bans books. It’s not judgement when you’re affected by it lol. As stated, it’s a tough decision but they lost credibility here when they closed schools for 1” of snow and the sun broke out at 10am, the other week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
