[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 401072, member: 6546"] Janet-- I hear ya on the schools thing... Our school district threw parents a curve by changing their mind throughout the storm. While all the other schools had contacted the news outlets and were broadcasting their closures all Sunday afternoon - ours didn't think to "officially" close until Sunday at 11 pm. With buses arriving to pick up kids at 5:45 am - who in the heck is up at 11 to see the official close? To make it worse - the school must not have notified all the news outlets because Monday morning - some tv stations were still showing ours as "Open as usual". Monday afternoon - all the schools began posting their closures for Tuesday. Our school? Waited to the last minute - again. Tuesday afternoon - all the schools began posting their closures and delays for Wednesday. Ours? Originally posted that all students were to arrive at the regular time. Several hours later - the school district changed their mind and changed the start to a two-hour delay. And even though the school has a published schedule of make-up days for cancellations which is printed on their website and all the school calendars...they decided not to follow the published schedule. So instead of using MLK day as a make-up (as scheduled and advertised all over the school calendar) school will be closed for MLK day and will be made up in March instead. You're not the only one who'd like to punch somebody over snow days! [/QUOTE]
