Re: NYC schools closing???
very unlikely
We've had some pretty nasty storms & Bloomberg never shuts the schools
even with the transit strike they were open
so I doubt it
though we can dream!...

although there was that random time that the schools closed one September (I think in 99) for a "hurricane"....so one never knows.

Usually the NYC schools stay open b/c most parents will still have to work b/c of mass transit and then there is no child care.

There has to be 6 inches of snow on the ground before 6 am. That is the rule for the DOE!
I am praying for a snow day! Bring it on!!!!

Re: NYC schools closing???
I am wondering if/how the city's budget will play into it. Do we lose state money if we close? If it's going to be a savings to the city to close the schools, I can see him doing it.
Of course, feel free to think I'm talking about of my @ss. I am really just speculating, and dreaming.

Re: NYC schools closing???
Is he only going to close NYC schools? Or is he going to close "ALL" schools that are on Li.? I hope he closes all of the schools especially the colleges.

Re: NYC schools closing???
I wish they would take into consideration people that have to commute there 
I am totally stressing over this. I am running out of days because DD is always sick. I don't want to call in but I am petrified of driving in a blizzard. I leave my house at 550am to catch a train....I have no idea what I am going to do

 I know what you mean, I've been in the same boat with my DD being sick, and taking days for other storms- I live an hour's drive from the Bronx and it gets really hairy in the snow.
Granted, their concern has to be the kids first but it's not like anything really gets done on days like that, in my experience.

Ro Bloomberg is the mayor of NYC he has no control over LI.

From what I hear - the reason NYC has more school days than other districts is so that when the state takes the 180 days of attendance for funding NYC can use the 180 days with the largest percentage of attendance to get the funding.
Therefore: no big deal if we close. HOWEVER as pp's have said we provide babysitting and food for many NYC children.
