Why No Two-hour Delays?

Reading between the lines of the message: Here's a possible reason why the district refuses to utilize 2-hour delays for the safety of thousands of school students, teachers and support staff employees, and local busing companies: - The administration CAN NOT find a WAY to make the professional salaried staff make up the HOURS - missed during the dangerous travel time of the 2-hour delay! The support staff who work IN THE BUILDING make up the time, but the professional staff who need students present to work, and spend countless hours at home day after day grading papers, fretting over student issues, making phone calls, and preparing lessons get to school as soon as is safely possible and the DISTRICT is trying to find a way to hold professional staff to making up those hours under emergency and dangerous conditions?!!!

In the future, I will keep track of all the hours I spend at home, on my time, working for the school, and the betterment of my students. Those countless hours will never be compensated, and we'll compare that to the 2-6 hours that could potentially be used for 2 hour delays in a school year. Unbelievable!

And, the Administrators say - "IT's ALL FOR THE STUDENTS?????"
