In his message, he says that the reason they are not considering calling a code purple for tomorrow, January 19, is because that code is only for large multiple-day events, which tomorrow’s storm should not be. While that was the original purpose of code purple, it is clear that the school system was actually trying to implement options for virtual learning anyway, but was unable to do so due to technical and competence limitations. Therefore, we know that Brian Hull is dissembling.
Given that they previously said virtual was only for multi-day storms, why do you say it is so "clear" that they were trying to but were unable to shift plans after only two snow days?
Their website indicates that multi-day storms are only one example of when birth learning could be used.

Transitioning to virtual learning is considered when:
The impacting event is predictable
The impacting event is part of a multi-day scenario (blizzard etc.),
or
Prior preparation and communication with families, students, and staff has taken place
