[quote=Anonymous]I'm going to offer a suggestion to APS. Their current policy is that closure/delay announcements are made at 5:00 or not at all. So the default is that we should all assume that school will start on time if they haven't announced a delay by that time. On a day like today, where some people were getting notices indicating that a delay was possible or probable, that information should be posted on the website. A simple "we are assessing conditions and an announcement will be made shortly" would have been easy to post and would not have committed anyone to anything. At 6:00 a.m., well after the established announcement time, the APS website was unequivocally stating that APS was operating on time. I'm all for announcing a delay and being flexible if conditions are deteriorating and it's a tough call, but why not have a notification system that reflects that the decision making remains fluid?
