There is a whole process, including seeing the conditions for himself. In a statement he says, “Early each morning, the transportation director and I assess road conditions firsthand and consult with the Cross County Sheriff’s Department to ensure we make the best call for our students and staff. We try to make the decision the night before, but in the event we can not, they are typically made before 5:30 a.m., and families will be notified through text messages, our website, and social media." This parent believes the superintendent is wasting time. “If we wait till the morning of and I don't have a babysitter, I'm going to end up having to call out of work myself because I can't just get a babysitter at 6:00 in the morning.
