[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hope your kids enjoy their day off[/quote]

With no snow.  Ice, sleet yes, but no snow.  Fun times to play outside.   :roll: [/quote]

Ice is WORSE . It’s way more dangerous for school employees to go in on ice. [/quote]

Way more dangerous to get to your computer??  I get closing buildings.  That makes sense.  DL?  Too icy between your kitchen and office???[/quote]

Do you understand that if schools are considered open for the day, nutrition staff HAS to report. Why? Because meals HAVE to be provided on a sxhool day. Custodians HAVE to report. Admin HAS to report. Any federally mandated schedules tests like ACCESS/WIDA HAVE to happen? No of course you don’t because the world revolves around you and hating teachers. [/quote]

The buildings were already closed for the day, so no those people weren't reporting.  I really DGAF but canceling DL is beyond ridiculous.

My kid is a senior and we're beyond done with APS but I feel for the people who have to work and have little kids.  [/quote]

As I stated. Closing buildings doesn’t mean it’s not a school day. This is the time of year federally mandated WIDA testing is taking place. You cannot do it online. If it’s a school day, those tests have to happen. If it’s a school day MEALS HAVE to be provided . You can’t just close buildings and still have a school day because there are certain things tied to having a school day that don’t go away if buildings are closed.

DP.  Last night's announcement said all buildings and offices were closed for today, all in-person services were cancelled, and only essential personnel to report unless instructed otherwise by supervisor.

This morning's announcement was that all distance learning is cancelled for today, all buildings and offices were closed for today, all in-person services were cancelled, and only essential personnel to report unless instructed otherwise by supervisor.  Literally the only difference between the two announcements was that distance learning is cancelled.  Meal service and stuff was already cancelled as of last night.  So your explanation doesn't make sense.

The change would make sense if they had some kind of weather related utility issue that took down some portion of the APS technology infrastructure so they can't do distance learning today.[/quote]

Exactly - It infuriates me that there is no explanation provided. Who holds Duran accountable here? The kids have 1/2 day next Thursday (literally about an hour of school), and no school on Friday. The reduced instruction this year is insane. Why does Duran not care about our children learning??? How long are we going to suffer through his leadership? [/quote]

Well that has absolutely nothing to do with the snow day, which I think was a mistake for the record, but those days are for parent teacher conferences and  happen every year regardless of distance learning.[/quote]
