8:30pm on a school night.
The forecast calls for dangerous conditions overnight and into the morning.
A few questions come to mind:
For School Officials – What if we call it off and the forecast was wrong? What if we go ahead as planned and someone gets hurt/killed?
Will it be safe to go outside tomorrow?
For Teachers – Do I have what I need to teach? What if this lasts more than a day?
Will it be safe to go outside tomorrow?
For Parents – Will I have to work from home to watch my child(ren)? Can I afford to stay home?
Will it be safe to go outside tomorrow?
For Students – Do I have to go back tomorrow? Do I get to see my friends? What about my concert/practice/game/test/field trip?
Will it be safe to go outside tomorrow?
The news and social media will post updates and BREAKING NEWS about which districts decide to close.
*repeat*
Right now, it feels like every night is 8:30pm on a school night, and the forecast calls for dangerous conditions overnight and into the morning.
Will it be safe to go outside?
