I’m pretty sure the MARTA limitations affected them as well. My guess is the failure was at the leadership level.

How many take MARTA buses? Those weren’t running. What if they couldn’t get out of their driveway and/or street?
I’m sorry, but prepping schools for the possibility of opening is not, in my opinion, “essential work” that necessitated being on the roads Thursday when officials had asked people to limit travel to such work.

Some people need to work on “snow days”. CSD Facilities should have had a crew working on Thursday to prep the school grounds for the possibility of opening on Friday. I refuse to give a pass on this one.

But the job needed to be done quickly so he was doing what needed to get done. Plus only the principal has half a shot at keeping kids from sliding on the irresistibly icy sidewalk. I like a principal who is out greeting the kids as they come in, not sitting behind a desk.

Re doing the sidewalks yesterday, most staff were at home where the Governor and safety experts said they should stay put. Plus it was hard to predict yesterday morning which slushy areas were going to turn into clear pavement by sundown and which were going to morph into ice blocks.

Why weren’t these schools cleared on Thursday?
