They just had a holiday on Monday, now a snow day (for a dusting) and they are going to be off on Mon. and Tues.? Why bother going? Just take the whole winter off.

For crying out loud! Don't give them any ideas, 12:57PM. Besides, the teachers wouldn't want to give up their paid summers. That would be a travesty.

You guys will criticize anything. How can the BOE predict snow would happen? They made the right call today based on the info from this morning.

You all want them to protect our kids during a bomb threat but not when we have snow? Get over it.

Teachers contract for a set number of days. No such thing as "paid summers". Please educate your dumb self before making such comments.

2:48, I think the point everyone is trying to get across is that closing for a dusting of snow is a bit overkill. Roads might've been icy early this morning, but a delay would've been sufficient. Maybe if they used some of their professional days for snow make up days, or had simply less professional days, kids wouldn't miss so much school in the winter.
