An open blog to Dr. Eugene Sanders:

Sir, this is no brainer decision that has to be made about sending Cleveland school children to their neighborhood school.
For them and the crossing guards that have to actually stand in actual expected temps below zero with windchills even lower this is a day that you state as "day off" and you count it towards your snow days that the system has.
When you make a decision that is the opposite, you will not only have angry parents BUT crossing guards that have to make this sacrfice to stand out in the cold, artic, freezing air and make all attemps to cross the kids to the best of their individual abilities.
Mr. Sanders, the ball is in your court. Do the best you can and take an amount of time that you need to make this decision.
Until next time./gb

I think he is in a now win situation either way. In Ohio a school district has to go to school for 180 days out of the year. Most are scheduled for 185 days out of the year. This gives them five snow days lee way. If he uses say seven snow days by the end of the school year he has to make up those two extra days. Which gets tacked on at the end of the school year.

If he has to do that he'll get upset and angry parents because their kids have to go two days extra in the summer. If he doesn't give the snow days he gets angry and upset parents.

It is a no win situation. While I'm not saying it is right to send kids into this temperature I am just saying he doesn't not have an easy job managing a whole school system. He has to make a lot of tough decisions to benefit everyone.
