It is not my risk it is the risk to the super if he is wrong. If the temps. dropped and there was snow/ice and an accident the next board of ed meeting would have had 50 angry parents yelling about the super. There is no upside for him to take the chance. If he didn't canc. school today would anyone show up at the next BOD meeting to praise him?

It is not about getting praise. It is about making a correct decision with the information available. Not about what ifs and will I get sued? Your point of view is what has us, as a country, in this spiral downward, IMO.

I am going to leave this thread now as it is feeling like another forum that used to be here and I am happy to see it gone.

It is funny bc I was going to post that I thought the downward spiral was when people complain about political forums that they don't participate in but still feel the need to complain about. I didn't press send but...... |

Ross, I agree but it depends where you are. Still snowing here and we have about 8" so far. Nothing to cancel school for, especially in Burrillville, where we get more snow than anywhere in RI. But they did cancel.
My wife taught in town for 35 years and they never cancelled for less than a foot or more.
