I remember snow days growing up (ECHS '76). When you live in a hilly area many roads get unsafe in a hurry. One of our nearby counties is Switzerland County, named that as it reminded people of Switzerland. This is in the not so flat state of Indiana.
In the district I grew up in (Sunman-Dearborn Community Schools) we had a lot of hills, including the main roads. Skipping some of the side roads was sometimes necessary for the drivers, but how about this. On North Dearborn Rd., about half a mile east of North Dearborn Elementary, is a big dip (or small valley, with a wiggle in it). One morning the schools buses were stopping at the top of the dip, and one bus would make a run at it.. Once it had cleared the dip the next bus would go. The drivers were concerned that one bus would would get stuck at the bottom with more buses coming down the hill behind them. When the drivers are worried that they will get stuck on the county road almost within sight of the school, it is probable that the school should be closed.
Around here only town and city schools close for Martin Luther King's Birthday, don't know of any that close for Martin Luther's. Maybe the Lutheran schools? Already schools with 2 weeks of spring vacation are canceling one week, days are being added to the end of the school year, and the Indiana is allowing schools to make up for missed days by lengthening the school day for the rest of the year.

The lady of the house who answered the door offered no answer, but said that she would talk to her husband and have him call me. I figured he was away at the time. Well I heard from him the next day, and he procee
