so was it the right call?

Teacher here.

The 13 mile commute to my high school usually takes 30-35 minutes at the peak of rush hour. After 30 minutes, I had only made it 2 miles. I turned around and went home. My coworkers say that 30 teachers called out and there were an average of 5 kids per class compared to the usual 25-30.

It was a waste especially considering that the city extended the end of the term to today. There was no new content to teach and no old content worth revisiting with so few kids.

Neighborhood kids were in, out of boundary kids were a no show. Depended on the school, but regardless should have been a 2 hour delay, most teachers had a very long commute as couldn't drive to work as nowhere for them to park. Parents had trouble with drop off at some schools.

We took uber, was completely painless. Not free... But all in all, for drop off and pick up it cost about $25 total.

Our charter called a two-hour delay. Great call. Most kids and teachers were there. They are delaying again tomorrow.

Neighborhood kids were definitely not in at one HS. Once they knew their attendance was optional they just didn't go.

Likely more than one HS. Just speaking on the one I know of.
