Our schools were closed on Monday too. Like Janarae, we are down to 3 clamity days...already they used 2 and we are not thru December. The worst is still to come I am sure.Sometimes our superintendent jumps the gun....winter is for snow and cold. People need to get used to it. Just because there is an inch of snow on the ground is no reason to cancel schools. I can understand closing when the wind chills are in the negatives, as some kids have a long walk to school, but winter is for snow, and they need to use better judgement when closing. We went to 3 hour delays this year and it was to help with the going down to 3 calamity days. We have used the 3 hr delay for fog mostly. It is very normal for us to close 5 to 7 days per year for bad weather roads. It will be interesting how this all works out in the end....the schools will most definately have to make days up.
