 My network follows CPS in terms of declaring a weather emergency closing.

CPS is the ONLY district in the immediate area (I didn't pay much attention to the extended area) to declare that they WILL be open on Monday.

Monday's weather in Chicago.  HIGH of -12 with 22 mph winds.  Which means windchills of -39.

There's the safety of the children and frankly the staff too!

We have to remind people, when our district closes, even if it seems like it was probably ok here though seven miles *that direction* it was really bad, many of our TEACHERS are trying to come in from *that direction* and that's not safe, either.

Sounds like the same people running the school distract in my area.

CPS finally pulled their heads out of their asses and we are, in fact, home tomorrow. Tuesday is anyone's guess right now.

Our schools our closed again today with temps of 11 degrees but feels like -7 here.

We went back today and it was fine. It was about 8 at dismissal, so it was chilly but after the last two days we went, "hey, this isn't so bad... for a brief period." :)
