I sure hope this storm doesnt live up to the hype and headlines - Be safe my friends and family. BAY AREA — All classes are cancelled Thursday for many public school students across the Bay Area as a strong storm system moves into the region. San Francisco Unified School District, Oakland Unified School District and San Rafael officials made the announcements Wednesday afternoon and soon many other districts and private schools made the decision to follow suit. “Closing schools is a serious decision,” said SFUSD Superintendent Richard A. Carranza in a written statement. “I did not arrive at this lightly. First and foremost, we don’t want to risk having our students injured or seriously delayed transporting to and from school. In addition to student absences, the storm could result in large numbers of staff absences, which could then lead to inadequate supervision of our students. Furthermore, power outages could affect the district’s ability to feed students’ school meals, among many other operational challenges.” Novato school officials say the decision to close the schools is to ensure the safety of students and staff. School is expected to resume Monday December 15th in Novato. San Francisco, Oakland, and Novato officials say they will make a decision Thursday about schedules on Friday.
