I want to say this... snow or ice and the lives of people's children is not something to play around with. I always attended and my children have always attended, the "city" school. It's not too hard for us to get there... even if things got so bad they could walk, but I do worry about those children and their parents, who live out of district and must travel. The most important aspect to consider overall is people out in the outlying county areas, things can get pretty dicey with the weather & road conditions, pretty quickly. I would rather see those kids going later days when the weather is better, saturdays, or extended school year than to see someone's child or parent @ the hospital or funeral home. I'm sure the school officials are monitoring this closely & I know it's a serious concern for them as well. If they make decisions that don't make sense to your particular location, I'm sure they've considered the entire scope of their school's district and made their decisions accordingly. The main thing is safety first!
