[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they follow their own bar for opening schools (minimal plow mountains blocking bus stops and cross walks), they'll be closed most of the week if not all. Even if they get crews out to deal with it, it logistically takes a lot of time. They should have been shoveling out the important areas all week but their lack of doing the right thing before doesn't make it okay to force kids back to school without it being safe.

They also haven't shown a lot of consistency in their decisions so whether that's actually what they do is up in the air. Reid made a questionable call last year in a desperate attempt to get kids back after winter break. I could see her doing the same again. [/quote]

She’s impossible to predict because she has so little spine and integrity.  I think she is willing to make a political decision at the expense of children’s safety, so it’s possible she will forge ahead even if the bus stops are still mountains of snowcrete on Tuesday.  I know some parents are fine with that, but I am a very cautious person.  I don’t want anyone’s child to be hurt, and there are currently a lot of risks at play that could lead to tragedy - kids standing in the road, kids falling on the ice, kids not being visible to cars using the road… I don’t buy the argument “it’s not going to get better, so let’s charge forward despite all the risks.”  That seems foolhardy to me.[/quote]
