[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of the PPs understand the need to close on days such as last Thursday through this Tuesday. Where people think it is unmerited is on days like Wednesday through Friday, when everything is back in business except for LARGE SCHOOL SYSTEMS who have to worry about plowing hundreds of lots, digging out buses, and whether roads are passable for large school buses/if bus stops are clear.

This is not the case, at all, for most daycares and preschools.[/quote]

3 different directors on this thread have pointed out that daycares can not run on reduced staff the way other employers can.

On Wednesday and Thursday of this week, OPM offered unscheduled leave, because they recognized that many employers would need to stay home with their kids.  Why is it hard to understand that many daycare employees, who are overwhelmingly female, wouldn't have the same need?  But a daycare simply can't offer unscheduled leave and stay open.  It's not possible.  [/quote]

How is it almost everyone else is able to get out to do the things they need to do and work and yet, day cares and private schools remain unopened.  Kids are taken by parents not walking or bussed.  At our school, the teachers often have their kids at school so why should this be any different.  [/quote]
