On the upside, at least we still have almost all of our built in snow days available...

My kids are okay to stay home alone, since they are MS and HS aged. What about you that parents that work outside of the home and have ES students?
I'd imagine that if it was a real health concern, people wouldn't want to or could not send kid to a day care. Camps would not be open, as some would for set breaks and snow days.
They would have to stay home. Or hire a sitter. Teachers will be off work if this happens. I'm a teacher, and I was thinking today of a friend of mine in my neighborhood with young kids who works. As long as I'm still being paid from my school (I am assuming they will, but if we were out a long time, its possible they won't), I'd watch her kids for free so she could go to work.

I could manage to keep something going online for the vast majority of my kids in Grades 2-5 who are not beginners.
But only if they had internet access and computers or some device at home they could use.
K-1 I don't think I could do anything.
We definitely don't have any kind of plan in our district for this.
I alsp teach ESOL in K-1st. I could send packets of work home but not all kids have internet at home. I work in a Title One school. Many kids wouldn't do the work anyway if they had packets.
I could send packets too. But that would require a working copy machine and advance notice. We don't currently have even one working copy machine in my school.
