Made a big deal of how it was open in this weather, and staff were heros, etc.Thought it quite funny, as all I could think of was the sister Decatur Diner, and how it's not even open in normal weather!

But WE Decatur families can all walk there! Safe routes through the snow to school! Walk, sled, or ski! Of course, I'm being facetious but I would love an alternative to the kids being cooped up at home, learning being postponed, and parents getting behind in work that will have to be done eventually, probably at the expense of family time during evenings and weekends. And I imagine that at least some of these snow days will have to be made up in the school schedule....we don't want to decrease the number of days of instruction that our tax dollars buy. I would propose that the budgets of either CSD and/or the PTAs/PTOs include salt for the bus routes to school but that won't help the teachers and staff who live in other parts of Metro Atlanta that are clueless about how to make their roads passable.

Otherwise, they could just have school anyway.

This is getting old. I have a bad cold, work piling up, and kids who vary from ebullient to cranky. Could we perhaps use the school buildings as some kind of combination child-care, cabin fever relief, enrichment program if we parents volunteer to rotate in running it? Other people's children always listen to me better than do my own. City Schools of Decatur closed tomorrow too. This is getting old.
