We never have snow days. We suck it up and walk to the school.
To get to my school, everyone would have to walk long distances across really dangerous roads.
No one lives near the school except for a very small amount of kids, and the intermediate, middle, and jr.high schools are all grouped together out in some obscure corner of the woods
where no one can here you scream. That's almost all the kids in the district, grades 3-9, walking across a really long road with tons of traffic and really narrow sidewalks (actually, their technically are no sidewalks), in tons of snow. Given that there wouldn't be a lot of traffic anyway since the buses couldn't get out, there would still be a lot of trouble there.
I could suck it up maybe, but it's a bit extreme to most parents and they would just keep their kids home anyway if they had to do that. Yay snowdays for me. :D
