Since Independence Day falls on a Thursday this year, I hope the BOE is comtemplating a four day weekend!

Decision should have been made this morning not last night. Kids could have had a 1/2 day.

While the main roads may be fine you have to consider what shape the other roads are in. The roads back in "The Hills" are often worse than the rest, there are a lot of trees and the roads don't get much sun to melt it off. Better safe than sorry.
