Just getting to this thread today. From what has been said on WRVA this morning, enough parents called the school superintendents that they decided to closes the schools today. The original decision made yesterday afternoon was for the schools to remain open under lockdown. Then late last night/early this morning, they changed their minds due to the number of parent complaints.

I think it's a big mistake. There is no information about what will cause them to decide to open schools again. Also, Randolph Macon College is closed as well. This is a small college in Ashland. They were under lock down Saturday night. Not sure if they are still under lockdown but I think they are.

Can you post what "lock down" means in regards to a high school or college? Is it some sort of sleepover? No one enters the campus overnight?
