We should, but so many people think school is day care, and would have a fit.
Actually, some of us have high schoolers who need grades for transcripts and need to to talk to their teachers in person.

Does anyone have any actual insider info? Parents are trying to figure out if they need to have childcare for tomorrow.

How are buses going to make turns on these one lane roads? I think that’s a considerable question, especially in parts of the county with more narrow roadways.

They will have to at least delay. Middle schoolers would have to walk on the roads in the dark.

I think 2-hour delay to give extra time for teacher parking, kids walking on icy sidewalks, etc- so most people won’t know what to expect. Normal start time Tuesday.

I think there will be a 2 hour delay so that we can deal with walking over the ice mounds in the daylight.

I think a 2 hr delay is likely. There are still way too many roads with one way passable and disappearing lanes. I wish it weren’t the case, but that’s the reality of the situation.

Maybe you should practice some humility and pray for that outcome rather than stating it so arrogantly.
I don’t know. Multiple principals and teachers emailing with information indicating Monday is open….seems like praying is a bit much. I’m going to go with current reality.
I can see 2 hour delay but closure seems like some of you are the ones praying.
I don’t get it. Keep your kids home or call out “sick” and wait for the doomsday outcome. Let everyone else live.
No, they know as much as anyone else which is nada
They arent told any secret info. They are planning for reopening because that is their job.
You don’t think they have more insight and knowledge than you random parent sitting at home?

Schools that can open should open. But, holding the entire district back because some are not ready is equity.

I think they either announce a 2 hour delay this afternoon or say nothing.

I think schools can and will open tomorrow. But will APS announce this, or just say nothing since there’s no change to normal operations (assuming there aren’t any)?
