I feel this. But also I’d feel more grace if it wasn’t so illogical and the communication was more honest and timely.

I’d be fine with we didn’t have the staff to work on this over the weekend and tomorrow we’re going back to work. We know conditions won’t be much different Tuesday so take tomorrow to figure out a plan.

Or say they’re going to send out some altered bus stops.

Anything from planet earth.

Nothing “illogical” about it.



Some people will aggressively complain about anything. It’s like a compulsion.

As the PP said, show some grace, FFS.

We have (or some of us), all week. But my kid played 3 sports games this weekend in APS buildings, so it was okay enough for that, and there's no magical reason to believe the outdoor conditions are going to change for the next several days. This has been an entirely foreseeable situation (as far as melting conditions, or lack thereof) that they've made little attempt to address, and now we're a week+ into it.

It’s not logical anything major will be different Tuesday morning. I believe they could clear a couple bus stops maybe? Walkers are screwed for weeks.

There’s no urgency because APS has 13 built in snow days, and they’ve only used 4.

what do you want them to do? I like near 4 APS schools. There isn't enough parking lot parking for teachers and they normally park on the street. There is NO street parking at all! Where are the teachers supposed to park?

So what will you do Tuesday morning?

I believe people want them to have some type of plan that doesn’t involve pretending like this isn’t happening?

Your lots won’t be cleared of all snow piles by Tuesday. The streets won’t be clear. Time for Plan B, C, D…

I don’t know. I think complaining about a school district not being able to open a full week after a snow storm is pretty fair. I’m shocked some of you are so whatever about it. Very low expectations.

They can clear out more parking lots for staff to park. They can work to clear out more of the major bus routes. The county probably used the heavy equipment for main roads first.

They need teachers in the building (place to park) and buses to run to open. More time = more roads & parking lots cleared.

This goes beyond a regular snow storm.

Don’t be a dick.

Did they walk there? I don’t think so.
