KCFalcon59 - Tony Sawyer is the best Superintendent 501 has had in a long time. Until you've met him, I wouldn't call him out of touch with reality. He is a very knowledgable man, and very down to earth. The reasons Topekans don't like him his because he uses big words.
Oh, FWIW, their are a couple of "big" reasons 501 rarely closes. The first is because 501 does offer breakfast for parents who are too lazy to feed their kids in the morning, or are just too poor.
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? |
I can relate dude .... 475 only closes when the Post (Ft.Riley) closes.
If they close post then school buses cannot go out there so the district closes as well.
Not closing because of breakfast being served has to be one of the most assnine reasons I have evah heard. Period
I am considered essential personnel as well but we have the choice not to come in and take a vacation or personal day. My boss is pretty kewl in that respect.
