You can do what the parents of Springboro do, drive your kids to the bus stop, and have them wait in the car until the bus arrives and have them get on the bus ]]> Sun, 03 Feb 2013 05:09:01 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5031&PID=36611&title=school-delay#36611 School Delay : Enough is enough,When I was HS... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5031&PID=36592&title=school-delay#36592 Author: Pacman

Enough is enough,

When I was HS I use to walk to school on days when the temp was -40 to 50 degrees with windshield. I survived just fine.]]> Fri, 01 Feb 2013 19:21:56 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5031&PID=36592&title=school-delay#36592 School Delay : I gotta disagree still.

I gotta disagree still. Sure, -7 is cold, but responsible parents should bundle up their children and teach their children how to deal with cold weather. -7 isn't life threatening for a 5-10 minute bus-stop wait. I think this is another case of parents wanting to shirk their responsibilities and expect the government to do their job. I'm not saying that's you "enough is enough" but I just don't think "cold weather" is an excuse to cancel or delay school. Children in Minnesota and Alaska seem to be just fine.]]> Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:29:25 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5031&PID=36581&title=school-delay#36581 School Delay : I think it might be -20 degrees,... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5031&PID=36580&title=school-delay#36580 Author: ktf1179

I think it might be -20 degrees, but you might need to contact the school and find out the exact temperature. I would like to know as well.]]> Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:03:39 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5031&PID=36580&title=school-delay#36580 School Delay : ... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5031&PID=36579&title=school-delay#36579 Author: enough is enough

My major concern was not the road conditions but the Minus 7 wind chill factor and all those kids who have to stand outside and wait on a bus. Anyone know how far below Zero it has be in order for school to be delayed?]]> Fri, 01 Feb 2013 13:56:02 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5031&PID=36579&title=school-delay#36579 School Delay : Hamilton City Schools, Dayton... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5031&PID=36575&title=school-delay#36575 Author: ktf1179

Hamilton City Schools, Dayton City Schools,  Cincinnati City Schools,  Miamisburg City Schools, Waynesville Schools and Centerville city schools did not Close or Delay either. ]]> Fri, 01 Feb 2013 09:09:51 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5031&PID=36575&title=school-delay#36575 School Delay : The neighborhood streets in theAyrshireneighborhood... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5031&PID=36574&title=school-delay#36574 Author: ktf1179

The neighborhood streets in the Ayrshire neighborhood only had one lane of pavement exposed, and the rest snow and  iced covered, and Holly Ave. was pretty much snow covered. It seems like our neighborhood is always last to get any attention from the city not only for snow removal, but road maintenance, you can only keep re-filling pot holes so much before you need to repave.

A 1 or 2 hour delay would have been fine, because it would have allowed the sun to heat up the pavement enough to start melting the snow. But seeing how the main roads were pretty much clear I understand why they didn't delay the schools. 

Besides I am sure if the schools did delay, they would have gotten parents calling in complaining about the delay in convincing them.

I personally saw nothing wrong with any of the roads this morning. I take my children to school and all the main roads and side roads that I take were more than acceptable for cars and buses.

Are there any roads that made you post this? I think the School District made the correct decision.

Middletwon City Schools would like to make us believe that they have are childrens safety as a top priority,so why in the worlld would they not dealy school on a day like today. Schools all around us are either closed or delayed. IMO just anoher nail in the coffin of not passing their precious school levy. They cannot even make an intelligent decsion to not risk the lives of the students and the staff who have to commute from all over the tri-state. ]]> Fri, 01 Feb 2013 06:23:15 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5031&PID=36570&title=school-delay#36570
