Love that icon!

I can understand closing Heritage down, but the whole county and city school system?? It sent Valis into a scramble at the last minute, as I'm sure it did you, because what do you do w/ your child while you have to go to work and are expected to be there???

No reported cases here in GA yet, but I doubt they would tell us.....

yep, total panic yesterday to find a babysitter :(

Why wouldn't they tell you?

I would assume the panic aspect of it. Atlanta metro has probably 6 to 8 million people, imagine cancelling all those schools, and the parents freaking out,etc. You get 2 flakes of snow and people freak, so I can imagine what a health emergency would do.
