Why are there schools cancelled today?

I don’t understand why leaders feel like they have to make unnecessary decisions days in advance. Prepare to cancel? Sure. Let parents know it could happen so they can have plans ready. Today is a nice day and tomorrow is likely to be fine, too. We live in Louisiana. People should be able to handle this better to avoid days like today.

Because if they don't and then something actually happens they won't hear the end of it ever.

Because everyone is afraid of everything.

Because they watched the morons on TV...

Bc every media had the storm making a direct hit on Nola. Be mad at media, not schools.

Because we can’t predict storms

They're covering up a COVID outbreak, obviously. Let them close these four days rather than be closed 14.

Comes a time when logistically you have to make a decision one way or another and can't wait until t-1h to make a decision.

They should reverse course and at least have classes on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Yeah not sure why they couldn’t wait till this morning

The internet has made everyone so extremely risk adverse about everything.

We really should wait longer to make decisions. Why should we give people the opportunity to make arrangements for their families?

I think you have a point about the rest of the week, but honestly cancelling on Friday for a storm expected to hit on Monday is reasonable.

Ebr didn’t cancel the week, they are cancelled through tomorrow with an update Tuesday

Chicken little theory. Same reason nobody is in the office today.
