This petition is to Inform HRSB that the parents under its Umbrella are NOT happy with the way they decide to cancel School during snow storms. going by just what the meteorologists say is NOT the best Option! by looking out the window you can typically tell if it looks like it's going to be bad or not, why are we Risking Our students, teachers and bus drivers lives when you could easily just cancel the school day! also remember its NOT just city Schools. Rural area's are way worse and need to be closed or give the individual schools the authority to cancel there school if necessary!!!

i really hope you take these signatures to heart and realize that you are Risking OUR children's lives. and to just say its up to us if we choose to bring our kids come early, but Not all families have that option if they do not have access to a car to go get them!

Sincerely

Many Concerned Parents & Community Members!

im still reading all your stories about the rural roads and honestly it just proves how out of touch the board is. dont let up because we need them to realize that looking at a screen isnt the same as being out in these storms.

the support is blowing up and it proves so many people are tired of this reckless policy. seeing this much momentum makes me realize we really might force them to stop ignoring our kids safety.

tired of driving in whiteouts just to get my kids to school. its not worth the risk. look out the window instead of checking a screen.

THEY NEVER THINK ABOUT US OUT IN THE RURAL AREAS. THE ROADS HERE ARE A DISASTER LONG BEFORE THE CITY EVEN SEES A FLAKE. GIVE THE LOCAL SCHOOLS THE POWER TO DECIDE!!!
