Same thing here in Maryland, they close on forcasts before the first flake comes down.
They didn’t have school buses back then in 1882.
If Laura Angles got lost in a snow drift till spring that was just Maw and Paws problem not the schools.
If the bus crashes now in snow and ice that’s a huge lawsuit.

They still don’t have school buses at the country school I attended in Kansas. We lived 3 miles from school. When it was snowy, my dad would wrap me in a blanket and tie me on the back of my horse and off we’d go to school. Teacher would untie everyone when they arrived, the horses spent the day in the lean to attached to the school and then the process would be repeated at the end of the day. Nobody missed a day - ever.
I was talking to a couple of retired school administrators yesterday, and they agreed that the easiest way to end your career was to have a kid get hurt because you didn't cancel school.
They also said that closing school because of the weather was always a lose/lose proposition. Some parents were mad as hell if you close and others are mad as hell if you don't close, and they heard from all of them.
