| SCHOOL OR NOT WE NEED TO KNOW NOW. Those idiots are so slow. I need to know whether or not to call the babysitter, go to work, set the alarm... |

| Wouldn't they have already called it if the decision was contingent on the busses running? |

| Oops. There should be a "that" after the word "bus" in 20:49. Wouldn't want any comments about stupid teachers. |

Fair enough, but as a DC teacher you know that it's not about you/us. Especially in an election year. |

Many middle schools and high schools depend on public buses.
Several hip, young teachers in our school live in Petworth and Columbia Heights and take a bus that will not be in service tomorrow because it can't get down the side streets. |

| I just got a call from my child's school about a very very important person visiting the school and incoming us about security and a street closure. |

| According to DCUM Obama is coming to Powell tomorrow. So, school has to be open, right? Less than 4 inches!! |

One would think so. The fact that they haven't makes me wonder about their competence. |

The text from 91990 came at 9:30 pm yesterday. I just got a tweet saying they were still trying to make a decision. WTH? |

| so if school is open and kid's cannot get there due to street/weather conditions, will the absences be unexcused? |

Junk... I think of myself as a hip and young teacher but I live in SW and drive. Guess I am neither... Hip nor young. Stink! |

Yeah, gotta be stealthy on an anonymous forum, huh?  Emma Brown tweeted earlier this evening that Obama is going to Powell.

It would be absolutely a poor decision to close streets etc due to a visit from Obama, you can forget about anyone trying to get to work if they have to travel near and around that area. A very poor call indeed, do you know how much disruption a visit like this causes to traffic on a normal day? |
