Sorry about that chief.
I called the school district:

1. Excuse is no power to 3 schools and trees down on bus routes
2. Maybe tomorrow some schools will be open
3. Will apply for a waiver so they don't have to make the days up. Governer's declaration of emergency means nothing. Last year applied for waiver of 9 excess snow days got 2.

the headache alone a teacher would face trying to get 15 kindergartners into a shower would be enough for me to close school for the day :ohwell:

Sorry about that chief.
I was thinking of showers after PE for the bigger kids. Mine is in kindergarden so it doesn't apply. I didn't think of the folks w/o water who haven't showered since Wed.?!? I kind of figured they'd find a way to clean up, go to the river or something...I know I would.

These are the same people with appliances on the porch, couches in the front yard, and more cars up on blocks than new cars on a dealer's lot.

Who's "They"??

Jlabsher, what were you thinking?

Without power:

1) no working toliets
2) no air ventilation
3) no working lights (gym, classroom, etc)
4) no working water sprinkler system
5) no food in cafeteria
6) no pa system /communication system
7) no air condition
8) no drinking water
( Just to name a few.. )

I have seen fallen trees on some roads where the bus could not safely get through.

Again, what were you thinking?

I, for one, do not want the schools here to operate like those schools in DC ( no heat, no water, poor air ventation, numerous structure problems).

I AM GLAD THEY CALLED SCHOOLS AGAIN TODAY, BECAUSE WE HAVE NO WATER OR ELECTRIC AND I HAVE 3 KIDS TO GET READY FOR SCHOOL. THERE ARE STILL BACK ROADS WITH POWER LINES HANGING TO THE GROUND! I THINK THAT IT IS SAFER TO KEEP THE KIDS AT HOME UNTIL SOME OF THESE POWER LINES GET CLEANED UP.

I'm not sure about the whole week, but I'm glad that they didn't have school today. A tree fell across power lines in Town Creek this morning and caught on fire, I am glad there wasn't a bus in route at that moment (timing for bus picking up kids was close).
