goldalex Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Truth. Long Island schools are starting to close now. OH and this is my rant from banter: So the city is looking at a foot plus and they're opening schools? Asking the teachers to come in just as the heavy bands are coming on shore??? Don't see this being a disaster commute or anything at all... (Sorry I keep harping on NYC living with fiancee who is having a meltdown, told her not to go but she's conflicted. Shouldn't have to worry about it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyblizz44 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 40dbz just offshore Just saw it & of course just n time for my kid's school bus.. GRRR! Chancelor needs better weather advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danstorm Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Just saw it & of course just n time for my kid's school bus.. GRRR! Chancelor needs better weather advice! If there was ever a day to cancel school, it's today. Dangerous to have buses on the roads in this. I'd keep the kids at home and teach them about midlevel frontogenesis and cold conveyor belts...

Strongly considered it , prob is : 1 snow day & we already kept em 2 other days ( MECS 's ) & tomorrow maybe worse so keeping that in my back pocket. left with little choice frankly. The politics of the public school system in NYC is just sickening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycwinter Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 the mayor was to busy getting the police to release a pastor who had warrants out on him..instead of closing the schools today..imagine all the kids having to be out in this heavy snow trying to get to school..very shameful...

ILiveforThis! Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Teachers/staff going in today is part of the problem. Mayor's office takes data on the amount of staff that come in on storm days. The mayor sees that sufficient staff come in regardless of the weather. This factors into his decision to open. If absolutely no one showed up it would be an unsafe environment for the children and then the next time it snowed he would possibiley reconsider opening. The more teacher/staff that show decreases the odds of a closure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBG Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Should be closed..The end..lolThey pre-clsed my district last night. I think they close too easily. When I was younger it was generally 6" and falling snow, or totally crippled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My district is out of snow days and school has been restored March 17, already and then they attack spring break, which this year falls on religious holidays.

goldalex Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I have many friends who are teachers, they are reporting all empty classrooms. Also, they all are being told that if they called in today they either would have to use a personal day or if they used a sick day they would NEED a doctors note. The teachers more or less have no choice but to show up to watch empty desks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 If the Mayor's office were following the NWS, the office might suggest that the NWS special weather statement needs an edit: SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY 817 AM EST THU FEB 13 2014 ...TRAVEL IS NOT RECOMMENDED THROUGH MID MORNING DUE TO THE RAPIDLY DERIORATING CONDITIONS. MOTORISTS SHOULD EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION IF TRAVEL IS NECESSARY. It should read: "Travel is not recommended through mid morning for all but New York City public school children, teachers, and staff, due to the rapidly deteriorating conditions..."

gravitylover Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Yeah, my wife is pissed they have to on Passover but still get Good Friday off. That's since they may be out of snow days.
