One day before the rain started Bossier was predicted to receive ~10" over the next 72 hours, and 3 days later they got over 20".
You can't afford for that to happen in BR/NOLA when they're also expected to get nearly ~10" over the next 3 days. I mean you can hope it is a bust, but that is not the way to manage it if you're in charge.

Loved me some school closures when I was growing up in Louisiana.

After school activities have been cancelled for EBR schools today. As of now classes are still scheduled for tomorrow.

People take it too far criticizing school districts for closing due to expected weather. A lot of times we don't get the predicted amount but the schools cannot take the chance of having thousands of kids on buses with bad weather and flooding.
No one is impressed that you (not slackster specifically, you as in everybody) think you're tougher than today's 6-18 year olds. No one cares when their grandfather talks about walking two miles, uphill both ways to school and no one cares that schools close more often now than when you were in school.
There are plenty of things to criticize school districts about. They're generally bad at their jobs but not wanting to bankrupt themselves with lawsuits over bus accidents is relatively smart.

What is particularly weird is that the people who get pissed are the ones without kids. I somewhat understand the inconvenience of getting someone to watch your kids or what not, but for the single guy working at Chic-fil-a, it is harmless.

EBR teachers have school tomorrow, but students won't be there. This has been planned all year.

thats all well and good, but what about the extra expense forced on families to hire a sitter or make alt. arrangements for the school closures. What about the impact on the employers who have parents out of work cause they have to stay home unexpectedly?
What about the negative impact of crying wolf- should the "event" not be so eventful. Criticizing what appears to be an irrational decision by leaders who are known for over reacting to everything isn't adding inches to your dick. Its legitimately questioning the rationale of the people who are supposed to make informed, rational decisions. Not Chicken Little (and chicken shite) emotional decisions based on fear.

I dont understand why my daycare closes if st tammany parish schools close. The parents arrange transportation. Annoying if they close st tammany parish schools because we have noone to watch the baby, my wife or I have to take off of work.

BRCC closing at 3 and closed on Friday

Due to advancing inclement weather, starting at 3 p.m. classes will be canceled, and the university will close at 3:30 p.m. today. Campus Transit and LSU Dining Halls will maintain regular operating hours, but all other offices will be closed.
University officials are monitoring the situation and will make a determination regarding Friday classes later tonight. We will keep the campus community apprised of the situation as it develops. Check www.lsu.edu for updates.

What should the threshold be? How much predicted rain is too much? How high of a tornado possibility is too high?
Closing schools a few weeks ago with the tornado threat was wise considering a daycare facility in the Gonzales area was hit I believe.
Given the information they get from their weather teams, I don't think some of these decisions are so awful. You can't criticize them in hindsight all the time.
