Oakland County School Administration is a Joke in Michigan

Guess on Tuesday, January 29th, 2008, someone in the Oakland OR Oxford school administration, who had the power to close schools, decided that they needed the day off. Why else on a day when it was 44 degrees Fahrenheit outside and not a spot of ice anywhere to be seen would they close the schools for Oxford?

Ok, let’s move forward, it’s Wednesday, January 30th, it is (with wind chill) -11 degrees Fahrenheit outside! But wait! They have schools open that day! It was too cold for kids to even stand at bus stops, many kids didn’t make it in on time (including ours) and there were ice patches EVERYWHERE!

The freezing temperatures continued to occur the next day on the 31st! Still, school was in session! What are these school administrators thinking!?!?

It is obvious to me that someone is either not doing their job well or just damn well not paying attention to the genuine safety and well being of our children. How else can you explain this gross negligence? I for one, as a parent, hope whoever was responsible for this can essentially get their head out of their butt and start making better judgement calls.
