Smart move John Fredericksen. Quit cancelling school every time someone farts!!

I'm glad they didn't cancel but to rely on law enforcements word on road conditions is stupid. They don't even go out unless called to a specific location. They don't patrol squat to know all the roads are clear.

The day ain't over yet. I pray flooding in low lying areas of Wicomico is not a problem while kids are traveling home.

hey 7:47 AM.......do u listen to a scanner and monitor every move law enforcement does? have u looked at their websites that detail when and where they are during the day and night? no one else is working around the county or state like law enforcement 24/7. fire depts only go out if there is a call. so law enforcement is one of the better resources to contact when it comes to weather related situations. u are very welcome that they serve in more ways than just locking up criminals. have a nice and safe day.

Gee, a day off for rain. Never in 16 years of public school and college did we get a day off because it rained!
Or because Dan said so??????????? He's full of himself.

Good. The closings have gotten out of hand. Go to work. Go to school. Good call.

Teachers happy for day off with pay - did you ever wonder how today's youth became so "entitled" - could it be the examples they follow?

Doubtful, I have 3 children and 9 grandkids, all of which have or now attending Wicomico County Schools. I believe my opinion should be considered. Don't rely on teachers to raise your children. Look in the mirror. None of my family feel's entitled because we have a strong work ethic.
