From let, are Dr. Thomas Duffy, Dallas Middle School principal; Leslie Piccini, food service di- rector, Metz; Cliff Parker, Kiwanis treasurer; and Beverly Ath- erholt, Kiwanis past president.

SCHOOL Continued from Page 1 that decision was not made un- til approximately 6:20 a.m. McGovern said that some Lake-Lehman students get picked up by 6 a.m. For his dis- trict, the decision to have a two-hour delay or a cancella- tion needs to be made no later than 5:45 a.m. before buses are on the road. Because snow didn’t start to fall until later in the morning on Tuesday, McGovern felt it was safer to get students to school before the roads got worse, and then wait it out until the end of the day when roads were clear. “The only time it gets tricky is when the private schools make a different decision,” said McGovern. West Side Career and Technical Center also had a two-hour delay on Tuesday. “This is one of the first times we have had a situation like this arise,” he said. Because of the communication between dis- tricts, schools are usually on the same schedule but on Tues- day, Lake-Lehman students who attend West Side CTC were given a study hall period until buses were up and run- ning. Before decisions are made, both Galicki and McGovern contact the director of the bus companies serving their re- spective districts. For Dallas School District, that means calling Jeff Emanuel, whom CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK/ FOR THE DALLAS POST A two-inch snowfall delayed school buses and inconvenienced shoppers like 80-year-old Stanley Mickus, of Dallas, who waited at Fernbrook Corners for the county bus to take him shopping. Galicki relies on to give him an evaluation of roads in the dis- trict. If Emanuel feels the roads are slick, he will offer an opin- ion on whether the district should have a delay or a clos- ing. If officials change the status from a delay to a closing, they make that decision by 8:30 a.m. before buses are on the road. In other weather situations, like when an overnight storm is anticipated, decisions made a little differently. “We like to make a decision by 10 p.m. when there is a storm pending so it can make the 10 or 11 p.m. news,” Galicki said. In the case of a cancellation, every district handles make-up days differently. Galicki has found that working snow days into the end of the year works best for his district. He noted that some districts will take days out of extended holidays such as Easter break but be- cause families tend to make travel plans during those times, attendance is poor. If there is a delay, the school day counts as a full day. McGov- ern said that, in delay scena- rios, elementary classes deter- mine their schedule by room while students in upper grades follow a condensed schedule. High school students have eagl of their scheduled classes, though they are shortened. Both superintendents stressed their main concern when making these decisions is the safety of the students, per- sonnel and drivers. are STATION Continued from Page 1 this too damn long and nothing gets done,” said Miller.
