The Saline Area Schools district has called off classes for a third straight day due to road conditions after about six inches of snow fell on Saline Wednesday and Thursday.
"After collaborating with our transportation department and driving the main and back roads, there is no scenario they will be ready for safe transportation to school tomorrow," Saline Area Schools Superintendent announced via email Thursday evening.
Friday's classes are canceled for students and staff. The district is expecting to make an announcement on afternoon and evening extracurricular activities by 1 p.m. Friday.
Sunny, with a high of 69 and low of 49 degrees. Sunny in the morning, overcast in the afternoon and evening, clear overnight.
Did they announce if they’re doing the 1 mile run down Michigan avenue?
If this mileage passes, has the City of Saline, for example, committed to reduce their millage by 2.0 that they no longer
need to send to the Fire Department?
It should be stated that this mileage is going to raise the taxes for many homes by $800 per year (based on a $250K SEV). There has been no commitment that the 2.0 mil that currently exists will be replaced even though it is alluded to. That is a huge increase.
The Fire Dept. likely does have unmet needs. We have been in meetings where the Fire Chief has spoken and our impression has been that he is not fully transparent, massaging information to present a case to achieve what he wants rather than solidly and transparently defining reality and options.
