Schools closed for "cold day"

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Most of the schools in metro detroit closed b/c of cold temps.  But why did the private schools?  They don't run buses.  Of course, my school (private) was one of the 3 in Wayne county (2 other public schools) stayed open.  My weather station said -3.4 degrees w/ -17 wind chill this morning.  Our principal let us all wear coats (although I wasn't cold so didn't) in class b/c he had taken a lot of heat from students who were ticked off (pun intended).  But I really don't see why schools who don't run buses should have closed.  There's talk of COLDER temps tomorrow, so we'll see what happens.

Uhh...I know that in PA, private schools use public school busing (everyone pays the property tax which funds schools)...if the public schools closed, they wouldn't be sending buses out for the private schools...so most private schools closed.

Today, you mean?

Our principal let us all wear coats

You're not allowed to wear coats normally?  that's odd.

Not in class--but in the halls and stuff-ya
