If you actually thought that was a problem, you'd give them a flashlight. But most of us don't live in a place with so little light pollution that you can't see where you're stepping.

It’s a huge county and black ice is really hard to see even down county.

If you're careless, you can miss it. Is it worth walking carefully to avoid minor injuries? Perhaps, but it's not worth delaying school. Particularly when the people who are worried could just drive and walk slower to get a similar benefit.

These are children.

Their brains aren’t developed enough to remember to walk carefully.

Stop replying to trolls. Just report the posts. 🙄

The delay is to give building services time to reapply ice melt on areas that melted today and refrozen. They also want it to be light outside so people can see what they are walking on. I know of two people seriously injured slipping on ice outside of school buildings. The delay helps minimize that risk.

No chance!

+1 Conditions won't change. If they were going to close, they would have already called it.

If the decision is being made based on conditions, then
they'll close. What's going to be different at 9am vs 7am?

But we know this isn't really about conditions. It's about giving a small number of bitter teachers the morning to sleep in since they felt entitled to it a couple Fridays ago.

What???!

Yeah, that made no sense.

Central office doesn’t care about what the majority of teachers think. Let alone a small number of teachers.

No one is actually suggesting a closure tomorrow. Those posters were just trolls.

Another way to get more time for your commute is to wake up early.

Yeah, you sound stable.

I'm not the one who thinks ice melts at 17F.

At what temp does ice melt?

Taylor found the thread!

Find an elementary school teacher to explain it to you. That's enough for what you need to do. A high school teacher could explain some more details, like how there's always a thin layer of liquid-like molecules on ice, but that will probably just confuse you more.

That's why some suggested closure. And email mentioned reevaluating by 7am. With a delayed start, it gives everyone more time to commute in. people coming from all over.

Come on, it's obvious this decision was made to try to placate the people angry about the 5th. There's no rational reason for a delay tomorrow. If the conditions are fine at 9am, then they're fine at 7am. Because they aren't going to change.

If you really don't think it's safe now or at 7am, then you'd have to conclude they need to close. But we all know that would be ridiculous.

Wow. A delay? How soft.

If we are better off safe than sorry, we should never open since that exponentially increased the risk. Keep all children at home, tightly bubble wrapped at all times.

And you have a very privileged situation if the delays doesn’t matter to you. For lots of people it means missed work and significant hardship.

Childcare can remain open?

Yes, but check with your provider.

Childcare is a private service that:
- is not available onsite at every elementary school
- Costs several hundred dollars per month
- does not have enough capacity for all elementary school children - there are often waitlists for these programs
