[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This question might be off topic, but if we do open this week, won’t we need to do 2 hour delays everyday - since there’s a danger that Middle Schoolers who walk in the early morning could be hit by cars?[/quote]

Every day  there a risk someone could get  hit by a car..[/quote]

You're being deliberately obtuse. School attendance is compulsory. Children are told that their transportation to school is walking.  The walkways (sidewalks) for safe pedestrian travel are blocked by ice. They can walk on mountains of snow and ice or walk in the street. The school puts the children at risk by instructing them to come to school while knowing their option for getting there puts them at significantly elevated risk of severe injury. [/quote]

Children are not required by law to get to school by walking. They just aren’t given a bus.

Drive your kid to school if they can’t walk. Find neighbors and carpool for the week. This isn’t the most difficult thing in the world, it’s a minor inconvenience that keeps kids in school.

And if you are convinced that walking or getting to school in this weather will kill your kid, keep them home. They can get make up work when the ice melts in March. [/quote]
