Yes. I thought that was the norm for public schools.

Ohio U. had to cancel a game this week because an armed robber was on the loose.

In Virginia-ese, locally, that would mean "Congress was in session!"

Ah, shaddap.

(Although, there's very little left here after two days of rain and 45 degrees.)

Anyway, I don't know for sure whether it's an actual policy here, but I can't recall ever seeing a day where school was cancelled and the games there that day weren't postponed. I've only lost one date to weather thus far.

Grew up in Alaska...we had one day in my 13 years of school (counting kindergarten, guys) when school was cancelled. Big blizzard blew through and knocked out power on a weekend and the pipes in the school froze. Back in school on Tuesday.

In Washington State, we have had two days already where they have cancelled school. One inch of snow the first time, and the second day was a FORECAST of freezing rain...it never happened but they cancelled anyway. Geesh...

Liability issues say if school is cancelled, all activities must be cancelled also.

False alarm: the visitors want to play, the superintendent approved. Game on!
