Unpredictable, dangerous, and drastic weather leads to hazardous and icy conditions. The current weather cancellation policy in place by DCSD fails to recognize this and forces students and staff to risk their lives driving to school. Students are inexperienced drivers and forcing them to drive to school risks their safety and increases stress levels and for younger students who can't drive they are forced to wait for buses or walk in dangerously cold temperatures.
We need snow days not only for kids enjoyment, but for our safety and the safety of others.
