many public schools don't have adequate facilities to handle extreme temperature. My high school in NH was legally obligated to close if the temperature was 98F or higher. I got heatstroke one year when they didn't.... HELLO 12 days of excused absences.
GOD that was a great conversation to overhear, my mom asking just exactly How the school was going to make an issue of me having so many absences that year. Too many? Uh, you know that rule about you closing when it's too hot? Uhh, YEAH, heatstroke.... OH she's OK? No problem? Yeah that's what I thought. EPIC.
Hey, it was about -22 here last night. Yesterday, it was 2 with a -11 wind chill, that went down to -2 with a -18 wind chill. They didn't close school.
The heartland is so different than the East Coast.
My brother is retarded despite my genius thankyouverymuch. ;-P I could superglue his entire body in fur ski masks, and the kid would still end up at the bus stop in a T-shirt. Cold weather Houdini.
In other news, superintendents watch too many weather reports.
