School Closings

My mom wrote me yesterday: nearly all Georgia schools were cancelled yesterday and today, by the governor's request. The goal is to save the gas that would be used by buses and school employees. Whoa! The time will come out of the scheduled snow days. Still, with such short notice, it leaves working parents scrambling to figure out what to do with the kids. I suppose it's a creative (?) solution, but hopefully he won't start asking schools to keep the lights off next...
