How about leaving the kids there until the ice was gone?? Common sense is not very common these days. I am appalled at the bullying job coming out of the palace in Stillwell, KS. Blue Valley canceled, so Olathe canceled, so DeSoto Canceled, so Shawnee canceled, so Basehore canceled, so the private schools canceled...the proverbial "domino effect." The BV Superintendent is basically a CEO reigning over more than a half billion in capital assets with thousands of employees and nearly 40,000 daily customers. He shut down school yesterday based on a 20% chance of precipitation forecast. If a CEO idled a publicly traded company with these kinds of numbers he would be fired in a heart beat. Who are these idiot administrators that shut down school and activities over a 20% chance of bad weather. The same ones who left school open last Friday when it actually snowed and was 10 to 15 degrees colder!? What the heck??? Maybe, just maybe, all of these overpaid morons who call themselves the leaders of public education are smarter than we thought. After all it is MLK day on Monday so shutting down school on Friday would sure make a nice four day weekend.

Meanwhile in Newton, KS where the forecast was 1.5 times worse from a predictive perspective they didn't cancel a darn thing. Yet Olathe called their team back?? S T U P I D!

Ok, let it fly...
