[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s common sense that you shouldn’t allow free entry to random visitors into a place that operates with locked doors and a visual buzzer verifications all other days of the year.  If something were to happen you would be found negligent.  Even if it is unlikely it is not worth the risk for a government controlled entity.
You could argue the HS could pull it off, but the elementary schools are not possible.[/quote]

Or you could just lock the entrance from the gym to the rest of the building.

Math is hard, Barbie.[/quote]

That's likely a fire hazard.  Some of you need to recognize that you don't know as much as you think you do about the laws and regulations that schools operate under.[/quote]

+100 it’s quite comical to see them coming up with all sorts of ideas that won’t work. Lol. School is cancelled. Deal with it. [/quote]

Glad you think losing so many days is comical!

That's why parents are having less and less respect for the educational system.

So tell me why securing a door won't work. You could "lock" the door, or put one of the many many admin staff in the doorway to prevent access.

OMG is sooooooo hard.... so so hard so we must give up so that we can get an unearned day off.[/quote]

You sound unhinged.[/quote]

Everyone is getting catty here but the point is very valid that the lack of planning, agility, creative thinking, etc. and jumping straight to closing schools does cause parents to lose respect for the system which has downstream implications (not least of which is the rapidly declining enrollment that dictates overall funding). Parents at our bus stop that are very liberal and/or apolitical talk every time there is a new calendar blip or we are back out to pick up kids 3 hours early that they think the schools are going downhill. One family is already gone and another one leaving for private next year. Good teachers get tired of having to keep scores up with less actual teaching time and they leave - for other schools or the profession in general.

First class school systems down end up being average or worse overnight or from one decision.
