So basically, your saying even though this is an ACT OF GOD, the children, community, and yes, school officials are responsible for it. Granted, yes the children need to attend school the amount of days required by the state department BUT situtations like this ARE NOT factored in when the decisions are made concerning school attendance. Well, I tell you all what...... why don't you come over to this area of the community, get your shovels, fix all the roads so the buses, or for that matter vehicles can pass thru, send about OH..... $200.00 per child who now has nothing so that they can get a couple of good outfits to finish out the school year in, bring yourselves right on out to the schools on a daily basis and make sure each and every child has a healthy meal prepared, and give them a couple of dollars out of your pocket so that they can purchase them a small snack to eat before they get home. Fixing the problem is not going to be so easy. Who knows where you live but I promise, it is bad in parts of the county. VERY bad and there is NO WAY that schools can get the recommended amount of children there to account for their attendance and get the money for that! They will LOSE more money trying to educate your child than they will get back to put in for the next years educational purposes. Funding.... yes, it comes from attendance!! Poor attendance=no cash..... High attendance=funding for needed educational materials for schools and children. Figure it out if you can..... there is NO quick fix!!!!

Just make up the days after the water goes down. It can be done.
