[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it closed for students? Did the teachers need to have this day? I thought last Monday was a telework day for them.[/quote]

From the website, throwing kids with disabilities and walkers out as the reason they can't open:

Why We Can’t Open Tomorrow:

Many neighborhood streets are too narrow and too icy for buses to travel safely. Many neighborhood streets are barely passable for a car and school buses are much wider.
Many sidewalks are impassable, forcing walkers to use busy roads instead of safe sidewalks. Approximately 20% of our students walk to school and do not have access to bus transportation.
Many of our students with disabilities require door-to-door transportation (as part of their legally mandated individualized education plan), which in some areas will not be possible due to some neighborhood street conditions.[/quote]

Those kids are the most vulnerable.

The speed limit is 35, but cars go 50. One of my students who has special needs does dart into traffic even with his family. He needs to come to school on a bus.[/quote]
