[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They close for rain and can’t bother to do an early release on eclipse day?? Pathetic. [/quote] They don't close for rain.[/quote] Yea they did just this school year in anticipation of a big rain event on a Saturday that never happened. [/quote] The anticipated weather was ice. At the last minute, the temperatures warmed up. Let it go. You seriously have a problem. [/quote] +1. Plus it ws Saturday! How exhausting to deal with these nonstop complainers. [/quote] Not complaining. Just pointing out that if they can close for rain, they can easily do a 2 hr early release due to eclipse for safety.[/quote] Oh, of course. It’s exactly the same to tell a few hundred people to stay home on a Saturday as it is for 50K elementary students to have to have arrangements made for an early release pick up. Please stop. You sound more stupid with each post. [/quote] You sound like you use school as a babysitter. Two hours early is that much of an inconvenience for you?[/quote] Actually I’m a teacher in a Title 1 school. Not everyone can drop everything to make arrangements for an early release. Having their kids in school does allow many of our parents to work a hourly job that puts food on the table. If they don’t work, they don’t get paid. Again, you sound more stupid with each post. [/quote] Safety trumps the needs of working parents always, sorry. It is safer to have an early dismissal when there is a solar eclipse happening outside at dismissal. [/quote] 🤦♀️ Yet somehow we’ve all managed to survive decades of eclipses without early dismissals and no one going blind. It’s this catastrophic-sizing of everything that makes having nice things nearly impossible. [/quote] I dont know my history of early releases and solar eclipses, cant really say what happened for decades. Last eclipse my kids were infants or un born. [b]Other school districts this year, whose dismissal coincidences with the eclipse are making adjustments. [/b]I know of several dismissing early, one closing, and one staying 20 minutes later. [b]The point in this thread is the county isnt planning or communicating[/b]. And most schools dismiss at peak viewing time. Even if they want to do nothing, they should communicate that. If they want parents to pick their kids up early if they chose, say something about how best to do that. I have no idea if my child's school will be indoors, if they are allowed to view, or anything. Its odd.[/quote] Where are all these districts located? [/quote] So you’re saying that you’ve received zero communication from your child’s school? What school does your child attend? [/quote]
