The snow that is coming in AFTER lunch?? Why couldn't they just close early?

So, 2.12 gets made up on 4.2. Can we swap that to 4.1. Or, we could make it up 2.19 or 3.12 instead! You know, when working parents have to be at regular M-F jobs.

Why not use it as a furlough day - then it would not have to be made up at all?

I think using it as a furlough day is being considered as a possibility, but no official word yet!

JC parents don't worry...the snow day will be a furlough day...teachers will now come on what was one of their teacher work days (before they were furloughed)...believe it or not, your BOE and Superintendent actually think about these things...let's bash them and complain about other things they are doing.

Because teachers won't get paid. They get paid for teacher work day.

Dear Mr. Gore,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for agreeing to visit our facility of Global Warming study here in Mexico Beach, Florida this week. Unfortunately, the facility will be closed on the morning you chose to visit due to our very first snow in history. Furthermore I do not believe it would be safe to land your jet at our local airport with all the ice that is expected to blanket the tarmac. I took the liberty of searching the country for an alternative way for you to spread fear among the masses this week but there is snow in all 48 continental states.

Imanage the amount of snow you could of had if we were not going through a global warming. Heck it could have been 30 inches.
