Second - alot of kids go to the Quinton Heights hill to sled when school is closed. The hill is right next to the 501 administration office, and the Superintendent has a view from his office of this hill. What do you think he thinks when he sees all the kids that could be in school, sledding?

If the school district honestly thinks that these kids won't eat breakfast if they are closed on a bad weather day and it is up to them to stay open to feed the kids then I think they are just a little full of themselves. As for sledding, I can see their point. If the snow is deep enough (more than 6 inches) then why not let the kids off so they can enjoy it. I am sure he was off for a snow day when he was in school and enjoyed playing in it.
