I find it quite funny that you didn't do this in the morning when the conditions absolutely warranted it, not to mention the fact that you're going to go ahead and try to have school tomorrow when we all know conditions are going to favor not going out at all unless it's an emergency.
I don't quite understand the judgment being passed when it comes down to making these calls, but it's quite obvious that you're not thinking too much into the safety of your students, especially when both this morning and this evening several accidents have been noted in the areas of Plymouth and surrounding towns. I think we all need some explanation on this because almost every single parent is disappointed by this judgment, and that's from what I have heard around town. I am sure the students didn't appreciate standing outside to wait for a bus when it was below zero, and I am sure their parents aren't going to appreciate it when they are sick and missing school days when they should actually be there.
Please don't try to speak for all the parents. I don't know about you, but I went to school in weather that was colder then today was. It's not that cold if they dress right! Grow up! They need to get to school on the days they can so if they need to call it off they can with out making up a bunch of days up at the end of the school year. It's winter...Get use to it! You live in Indiana where we get snow!!

It's pretty easy to make the right call...
No, it is not easy to make the right call. People yell at you when you call of school, and when you don't. I think everyone's doing a great job!

I agree! Two acceptable calls! Mr. Tyree has done a great job!
