You do understand kids don’t just stay home by themselves. When schools are off parents have to stop working.

I wasn't being school specific with my comments - my comments were about public sector employees in general (local, sate, federal)

That comment wasn't directed at you specifically. Pologize.

LP just announced.

Dunno where you are located, but here in Calcasieu Parish, for public schools, it all depends on whether or not the buses can run safely. If there is 40mph wind (or some certain set amount of wind), they can't run. If there are still frozen patches of roads, they can't run. If there is flooding in any areas, they can't run. If the buses cannot run, the schools remain closed. Its a liability issue, and has absolutely nothing to do with the teachers. Then of course if there is no electricity, they remain closed. If there is no water, they remain closed. Again, the teachers have absolutely nothing to do with these decisions. And before someone goes and calls me a teacher who just wants days off, I am not a teacher.
The fact that people seem incapable of understanding this, having had it explained countless times over the years, is amazing in a sad way.

Oh no, you’ll have to take another day off of work and spend it with your children. The horror.

How many people does each entity involve? Public is probably a lot more.
If the majority of employees are public, we’d be in a real bind. The money to pay the public sector has to come from somewhere.

If they are over 12, you don’t. That’s 1/2 the kids in school and most have other friends/family that help.

I went over that bridge today. What’s the problem?

That’s not really my point. You want the city to re open? Small businesses to reopen? Or hemorrhage another day?
Try to have a little broader mind set not so myopic as people don’t want to spend time with their kids. People want business open and the city to return to normal. Safely obviously. I’m not advocating schools reopen just to reopen. If roads are largely open, open up schools to those that feel they can get their safely.

Most of the time all Baton Rouge schools, public and private, follow the EBR bus system on closures. If they busses arent running the school doesnt open.
And the roads are good in most places here in BR, but it still a lot of ice on the sides of the roads and on bridges... some on shaded spots. Not fully safe for those that arent prepared for sliding if it happens.

Put a bus with 50 kids on it at 6 in morning with ice on it and wreck - Gordon never made so much money - NIL through the roof. Yay Tigers.

Let me just call our CEO and let him know that we need to pause our multi million dollar/day operation because school is closed.
I wish it were as simple as you propose. In reality it means juggling young kids while trying to work which in reality is at 20% capacity of normal output. Then staying up late once the kids are down to get caught up. There is very little consideration for the collateral impacts of closing school.

Wait until Little Braxxxton gets to school with no water, burst pipes, and no heat - you ain’t seen Karen’s until that happens.
Posted on 1/23/25 at 2:13 pm to Cleary Rebels
Why would a school reopen in those conditions?
Posted on 1/23/25 at 2:19 pm to SuperSaint
Perhaps the school buildings themselves have issues like busted pipes?
Posted on 1/23/25 at 2:20 pm to Sherman Klump
You’d be surprised - lots of rooms have individual heaters like motels - if the schools closed you don’t know why they closed - some schools may have burst pipes, ect. The school across from me has 4/5 plumbers trucks out front - kids out of school said roads - never said burst pipes and water everywhere.

This cold wasn’t like last year, it never got as cold and certainly not for as long. I really haven’t heard of too many pipes bursting.
Posted on 1/23/25 at 2:23 pm to Cleary Rebels
That’s fair and I would hope those schools would close after during their diligence.
