Back to the subject at hand (sorry I got sidetracked with the neanderthals)!

Since you work in the schools, do you think there might be a specific threat the sniper/s have given, directed toward the schools, the Cops haven't let us know about?

I mentioned that as a possibility in one of my first posts, but I have no way of knowing one way or the other. I'm just a lowly classroom teacher and not a [gasp] administrator.

If there has been a direct threat to the schools then, by all means, close them! But the local news has reported that the decision to close the schools (made by the Superintendants of each district) was in response to a flood of calls from worried parents. Whether this is the truth or not, who knows?

How many parents call Superintendants at home at 9 o'clock on sunday night?

LOL. I understand. :) Well, I see, I guess. People are just so very upset, and have every reason to be. It was strange, to me, because the other school districts (Montgomery County, for sure) have been in lock down, and seem to be doing okay with that. Richmond area first announced a lock down status, I believe, then went on to the closure. I am relieved it is out of parental concern and nothing worse. Goodnight to all, I'm leaving on the more positive note of concerned parents. God Bless America.
