Maybe because schools in EKy have lowest test scores in the nation.
Also nowhere near record extremes. Plus lots of schools were off with temps in 30s and 40s. Plus no one has ever froze to death on a school bus in history of EKy.

I think having the lowest test scores in the nation goes far beyond school being out a day or two for cold weather. The entire country just went through near record extremes. Factor in the wind chill and they were easily some of the coldest temperatures we've seen. I can't speak for any temperatures in the 40's as the high in Lexington last Wednesday/Thursday didn't break 30 degrees.

I never said anybody froze to death on a school bus. Hence, why I mentioned a lack of clothing for kids in poverty while walking to the bus/school, or waiting for the bus.

18 deaths. 2 of which were students. It's cold. Not that big of a deal to be better safe than sorry.
