When have parents sued over the weather?

It’s not mandatory that you have to send you kid to school today. This is about the teachers not “feeling safe”


We have had parents up here over their child receiving whiplash when a bus has slid off the road due to ice.

The teachers don’t make the decisions on weather closures. It’s strictly administrative in any district I’ve worked with. You’re an idiot.

School is out tomorrow in West Central, GA due to the storms.

If you think teachers make the decision whether to forgo school or not, you're a flaming moron.

You joke, but I never remember having school canceled due to severe non-winter weather. Never.

Because no one wants to teach public school less than public school teachers.

Because public schooling has zero to do with actually educating kids

We had it a couple times up here for tornados/wind damage that knocked out electricity for a few days.

We also had to cancel for flooding in 1997 when we had some bad flash flooding for two days then the river created a week later at historic levels.

In 2012, over in Henryville, Indiana, they had to take kids off buses and put them in basements along their routes because they didn’t dismiss in time. Thankfully they weren’t IN the school as the jr high/HS was leveled from a direct hit. So it does matter.
