I work for the Des Moines Public Schools and have for the past 13 years. Today, due to a forecasted ice/snow storm, the school district decided to be proactive and dismiss school 90 minutes early. This meant that I was able to leave work at 1:30 and pick up my children from their school (which is in Ankeny) at 2:15.
It is rare for the Des Moines Public Schools to dismiss early because of forecasted weather. They usually take the wait and see approach; and a lot of times we have had to slip and slide home. While the storm has yet to start, I think that district did the right thing.
We are looking at some pretty nasty weather tomorrow. I just hope Mel can make it to work ok.
