I have to ask Jeff. I saw on your MySpace status that school is out tomorrow because of the cold. I could have predicted this. My question is does the teacher's union have anything to do with this? We all know that there are so many allotted snow days and usually this area doesn't see much snow. Is it like a benefit for the teachers that is negotiated by the union? I couldn't care less but just almost seems that it is.

We are on a two hour delay here and our school district officials are very hesitant to cancel or delay school unless the weather is severe. Especially since we have already been out a week due to power outages from Hurricane Ike. (Yes, we live in Indiana.)

I think it probably isn't a union deal... It really doesn't benefit teachers much if they have to make it up over the summer! :)

Jennifer, Here in Tn they get a specific amount of "snow days" that don't have to be made up so it is a benefit of sorts. The thing is it didn't snow but I am fully on board with canceling school today because it was unbelievably cold. My work van was completely froze up. Had to drive the other vehicle.

Oh, yeah, we get those too. Last year we went way over though, Looks like this year we will too! The weather is getting weirder and weirder. Last year we actually had a school closing due to flooding, this year a week off due to Hurricane Ike, and now a cold weather delay (that should've been a closing, IMO.) Weird! :)
