When did schools start closing based on the threat of bad weather??

fricking ridiculous. Schools in Ouachita Parish closed, as did the Courthouse, because of the "threat" of bad weather. And then it sprinkled for like 30 minutes and the sun came out. WTF? When I was a kid, school didn't stop for shite. If there was a tornado, you balled up in the hall. Now they have "flex days" once a week where kids don't go to school. Have yet to figure that one out. What the frick is going on around here????

Lawyers and insurance companies are a plague on this country.

no one wants to be liable or responsible for your kids if there’s an emergency situation.

If there's the possibility for tornadoes they don't want buses running. Not much to it really.

The bad weather we got in Baton Rouge today was a normal afternoon storm when I was in high school in north Baton Rouge lol.

Would you rather your kid to school online for a day or send the court house and email or your kid die in a tornado or a bus rollover accident?

When school administrators started being scared of social media.

Up here they have snow days to burn with at home learning during the crux of winter. In fact snow days are pretty much a thing of the past due to all the experience with at home learning.
Sorry kids you got robbed. Never wanting to get up on time on a school day, possibility of snow you are up at 4 am checking the reports.

If one school didn't close, and others did, and a kid got struck by lightning, an attorney could use the other schools' closure as evidence that the lightning strike school was negligent in remaining open.
Thanks Gordon.

Not sure but the kids being killed in schools during tornadoes in Enterprise, AL and Moore, OK probably helped further the charge.

It seems like it more frequently

Been going on around here for decades

Some time in the 1990s.

Predicting weather isn’t an exact science? Here in Mandeville was watching the radar and looked like we were just a few miles from getting trained on by the front. School boards have to make a call that can affect thousands of students not to mention faculty and staff if they might be on the road during these times.
And when a school bus carrying 50 gets wrecked from one of the many ways a dangerous storm can bring, who’s arse is in the ringer?

If we thought the participation trophy generation was pampered I can’t imagine what this generation will be like

Since 2016, when we were told it was gonna rain for a couple hours and instead my house looked like a sunken ship and lost everything. I’m damn glad my kid wasn’t in a frickin school bus that day driving around looking for a usable road. I’m okay with taking a day off here or there anytime there’s a chance of it being bad.
