Virginia school days are set by law. Look at all the trouble they have making up snow days. They would simply tell those parents who were that concerned to keep their kids home on their own.
In addition, look at all the chaos shutting the schools down causes for single parents or in homes where both parents work. (And this is almost all families now.) It's just something they wouldn't do without a very good reason.
My concern is that they may just move the attack--whatever it is-- to a different area--children all over the two states may be at risk now.
Very true. I don't even WANT to imagine the chaos that would occur here in VA Beach if it came down this way and they decided to close schools, what with all the military folk here (roughly 94,000 active duty and reservists in the Hampton Roads area according to US Census Bureau figures).
