After I had my daughter wipe off the snow from the car we were ready to get into the car and go off to school, I told my daughter to once more check online and the TV to see if there was school since the other surrounding districts were cancelling or had a two-hour delay. Why? Just last week the school system cancelled with no snow on the ground and now other jurisdictions were canceling and the forecast was uncertain. Suddenly, my daughter asked what’s Code Blue? And sure enough I went and turned on the TV to see streaming ticker underneath saying Manassas City schools code blue, (I think it was channel 8). I was pretty sure that was cancellation but I went to the school system website anyway just to make sure it wasn’t a two-hour delay. Yep cancellation , but what I found strange, Manassas strange, was that the site said make sure that ‘you’ check multiple sources to see if the schools are closed. Okay Manassas City Schools I’ll check multiple sources other than the school system’s official site to see what you tell others what to tell us. And if one of those sources make a mistake? I guess my kids are just…. living and missing another school day in Manassas, which in the long term is increasingly unclear whether that is a bad or a good thing.
