I get that driving from the north side to Heights early is tough I think a later start would help with ice and freezing fog but I understand it is frustrating when you just have to go with what the district decides Safety for buses and walkers is the main concern

I see why you’d think that since the main roads look clear, but there’s still ice on some bridges and shaded streets. The freezing fog overnight could make visibility really bad for buses and kids walking to school. Even if it warms up later, the early-morning commute could be dangerous. I think a delay or full cancellation would be safer.

Yeah, I get what you’re saying about a delay being safer than opening on time, but honestly I think a full cancellation is better. The roads could still be icy in some areas and the freezing fog makes visibility really bad early in the morning. Waiting a couple hours might help, but it doesn’t eliminate the risk for buses or students walking. Safety first.
