[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ why do they need to explain beyond what’s on their winter weather page? Not trying to be snarky...but it says that they make the decision with student, staff, and visitor safety as the driving factor.[/quote]

They don’t. It’s ice. Bad enough dominion warned us we might lose power. But sure hold distance learning when people might lose power and not be able to attend class. I swear people will do anything to complain. [/quote]

Im aware that APS can do anything it wants. They could cancel classes the next five days if they wanted. But looking at the comments here, i just wonder why they wouldn’t say on the website or in the email something like “dominion said power might shut off so as a precaution we are cancelling school.”

This happens so often with APS. I am pretty happy with APS but every time they cancel school people argue and speculate on various online forums, and I wonder why they don’t just don’t give a simple explanation. Like when there is no snow on the ground but it has snowed recently, they could say, “we are cancelling snow because on some roads it is still icy and there are big snow banks and school busses can’t safely navigate them.” But instead those of us who are curious and who ask get accused of complaining by people for whom this stuff is apparently so obvious that only a stupid person couldn’t figure it out.
