School closings

Couldn't they decide now what they are going to do tomorrow, instead of waiting until the last minute and their mind half-way through the day? Fortunately I was working from home today, so a normal 15-20 minute drive to school only took 45 min each way, but what if I had a job to be on site in another city altogether. Back in my days of environmental work, there is no way to abandon a project with rental equipment and charge the client for extra time, travel, etc. I just feel school administrators need to do due diligence and plan ahead based on forecast. MNDOT says the roads are going to be bad tomorrow morning, so make your call now, tonight, while we're still planning. Our school is at the mercy of River Falls School District, it follows their procedures, I believe for busing purposes. Here it is 10:00 PM and they still have mostly yesterday's closings posted, not tomorrow's. I'm just going down their list of suggested news outlets:

  • wcco - big blank area shown above - no old new, no new news, no news.
  • fox9 - today's closings
  • kstp - tomorrow's news
  • kare11 - tomorrow's news
  • moose106 - today's closings
  • b95 - today's closings
