I don't buy the liability argument. These decisions are made by public servants and they are largely shielded by qualified immunity.

I think it's simpler: they see the opportunity for a day off and they take it.

My brother in Christ, nobody is keeping you around if you're not high level and a decision you make costs millions, regardless who's paying.

Agreed. If schools could be sued for keeping kids in attendance, why couldn’t they be sued for any injuries caused from early dismissal?

Moreover, can someone provide examples of a lawsuit that was filed from not dismissing? edit… I did find evidence of this happening. Couldn’t find if any money was paid.

Most of the time, the administrators are at the schools after the students leave. I know that’s happened a few times where I’m at

Try again

Anytime you see a schedule change to "virtual school" and admin works half a day this is 1000% what they are doing. Admin doesn't actually show up... at least in my experience.
