Only one parent complained in an offhand way..."I think the school closes just to make sure they aren't liable." I just smiled and nodded!
I would have had a hard time saying "That is the SAME reason I do! My BUSINESS insurance might not pay out is someone was injured because the driveway and walk way wasn't cleared. One of the perils of being in business!" I'd say the last part with an exaggerated sigh and chuckle.
I have in my handbook that I will take each school closing into consideration and monitor the school board decisions closely, then will determine if I am open/closed...school is closed here till Monday due to sickness/flu but I am open. I have not had any sick kids this winter so I feel right now we are good.
