Making the decision
Administrative teams from all school districts in Clark and Floyd counties always hit the roads early when there is inclement weather to determine whether or not to close schools. Transportation Director Danny Libs declared a 2-hour delay around 5:30 a.m. and he went back out to make sure it was safe to send the buses out. "For some kids, being in school is the safest place to be; they are going to get a good breakfast, a good lunch and be in a warm, safe environment"
