OMG Wichita public Schools 259 are CLOSED tuesday Jan 11
 

This is epic

This is monumental


They do not close for much of anything and if/when they do, they don't make the call until 5:30 AM


This came out before 10 pm the night before


It must be really frikin cold and the superintendent must have had a little slide on his way home

THIS IS.....SPARTA

No doubt. Grew up in USD259...they do not close for ANYTHING! I remember going to school with near blizzard conditions back in the 70's. The teachers let us have hot chocolate at our desks, which was pretty cool. Wind was whipping so bad the power went out a few times, but came back on and we had to come back the next day.

Enjoy it!

Hell USD 501 has closed for two days in a row tomorrow. It's rare that they will close either.

It irritates the hell out of me when they call off school, but I understand why they have to do it. I just wish they would tack on all the snow days to the end of the school year.

OUr district used to have 3 built in snow days to avoid make up days but they took them out this year so they are making everything up now. Everyone in the district is pissed now. I would hate to be the teachers or families that scheduled a vacation the day after school let out like we did last year.

I can't see why, they already get an absurd amount of time off as it is.

The summer is getting shorter and shorter is part of it. Nobody wants to see year round school.

OH, and if you are jealous, be a teacher. :)

This is an epic and monumental thread.

My nieces are always wanting snow days, but then whine when their Spring Break is non-existent.

Bugeater is a Skip mult???

:p

That is worse than taking it off of summer break. Many go skiing on spring break.

He took over Skip's mantle months ago.

Oh yeah, I can see how 2 months wouldn't be a long enough vacation for them. And I'm not jealous, it's just hard to feel sorry for someone who already gets that much time off.

If you're talking about summer, I know many teachers who teach summer school, go back to school to learn any updates in their area of study, provide tutoring, etc. I don't think there are many, teachers anyway, who get summers completely off.
