[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FFS, do you people living in your bubble realize that for many, many kids in dcps, school breakfast and lunch are the only two solid meals they get? And how many parents who do not get paid when they don't come into work, but can't afford to miss work, have kids in dcps? Perhaps you don't, but obviously the mayor does. Plenty of streets are fine, especially for walking within the neighborhood. It's ridiculous to continue to put added stress on families and kids when conditions are safe for many to come to school. Yes, some streets are not in good shape, and for those of you who feel that way, keep your kids home and be grateful that you're fortunate enough to have that choice.[/quote]

FFS the purpose of school is not to feed and babysit kids.

I can assure you DCPS will not have a legal leg to stand on if someone is hurt trying to get to school.

They can't use 'but we gave a caveat about excusing absences' as a legal defense if someone is injured trying to get to school during a snow emergency.

The caveat is proof they knew of the dangers but opted to open anyway.

Maybe a good lawsuit is just what they need.[/quote]

Your assessment of the legal standard applicable to bringing suit against DCPS is amusing.  Perhaps you've heard of the doctrine of sovereign immunity and the limited waiver for tort liability?  [/quote]
