[quote=Anonymous]There's a firestorm on social media, with at least one Board of Education member (of seven) calling on the superintendent to resign over her decision to dismiss on time (as opposed to cancelling or even releasing early.)

Alban (superintendent) is initially standing by her decision to release on time. She's attempting to throw the sheriff/first responders under the bus:

[i]Alban told the News-Post on Thursday that her dismissal decision was made on the advice of first responders and emergency management personnel, who were monitoring the forecast and didn’t anticipate the severity of the storms.

Any decision to dismiss early must be made by 11 a.m., Alban said.

“It looked like there would be some rain whether we dismissed two hours early or stayed the course,” Alban said. “The very heavy, intense raining — my understanding is that [it] had not been showing up on the radar until it was almost actually on top of us.”

Buses still could have gotten caught in dangerous conditions had schools let out earlier, Alban added." [/i]
