Good morning, as I reflect on this morning’s decision to cancel school I wanted to share how much time and thought goes into a cancellation decision on a day like today. Today was a 70/30 day. 70% clear and safe driving conditions and 30% sketchy and icy. While driving on treated roads or main town roads may be easy, driving many of our rural roads to the east and west was dangerous. Both myself and our transportation director spent a long time on numerous back roads. Often the only way out of a dip or up a hill was in 4WD. The S-curves east of town were sheets of ice. Any rural road with packed snow was glazed over and slick. In the end we determined (with additional information provided by other employees) that we could not justify asking our drivers and students to travel roads we were struggling to maintain traction and control on. Thank you for your understanding - Have a great Thursday. Dr. Curry
Due to icy conditions on many of our snow packed rural roads - there will be NO SCHOOL today - THURSDAY Jan 17 in D276.
