“At the end of the day, at 5:30, we have to make a decision,” Otten said. “And if the decision is. ‘This is what’s going to be the safest for our kids and our staff,’ we’re going to do it every time.”
Beavercreek students had a snow day on Tuesday and a two-hour delay on Wednesday. The time off adds us fast and the district only has so much to give.
