Seems like we got way less sleet overnight than was predicted?
I thought it was funny that yesterday (before it even started raining) it took me over an hour to get to work because of accidents. Took about 45 minutes today.SoupNazi2001 said:
Swing and a miss by the weather forecasters on this one. Conditions this morning out there are really no different than yesterday morning yet schools and most places closed today.

Closing stuff keeps people from going onto the road and getting hurt. In nicer school districts a lot of the teachers/staff live outside of the district due to affordability of housing, too. The whole town is basically shut down today.
It is definitely part of the equation. Directly from a superintendent of a local district where almost no teachers live in the district.91AggieLawyer said:nortex97 said:Definitely not true here. Zero cars so far this am on my ice covered street in Frisco.SoupNazi2001 said:

School district closings have nothing to do with staff. This keeps getting repeated so I guess people just believe it but it isn't true. In 2016, the legislature changed the minimum number of days to a minimum number of hours that could be increased each day by adding minutes on to on other days. School districts that have (or would have by the end of the year) more than the minimum hours don't have to make up snow days nor do they have to ask for a waiver. They also don't have to have school on a day where attendance would be low and they would get a much smaller amount of state funds -- the REAL reason for the closing.
