I don't know where you live, our neighborhood hadn't been plowed since 7pm last night. The streets were dangerous to drive. There aren't students just walking to bus stops. My teenager, husband and I volunteer to shovel four of our elderly neighbors driveways and sidewalks. We started at 5:30am. It was frustrating not knowing if schools were closed and to have to keep checking. We are not entitled! Go back to work and shut up!

Agree! The last district in the area to close. I'm losing faith in you Greendale School District.

Turfmonster- I am also addressing the threat issue. And in THIS case it was found there was no real threat. My child does go to the school involved. I don't think anyone was really frightened over the threat. Yes, there were precautions. They moved the dance to the middle school. It was a well attended event. If they were really worried about a threat it would have been canceled. I think each case needs to be handled based on the evidence. In this instance there is no terroristic evidence. As far as I'm concerned, Nicholas was punished. He was made to leave the high school, paid fines and his name plastered all over the news. Jail time and a year probation was not necessary. I'm more worried about the bullies my child goes to school with everyday that have not been brought to justice.

"What Olson did was wrong, Protasiewicz said. But because he had no intentions of actually harming anybody, had no previous record and wasn't a threat to the community, she decided to charge him with a misdemeanor and not a felony."
"Those are also the reasons why I don't think he should have any incarceration time," Protasiewicz said.
In this case he was not a threat. No bomb making materials were found, no guns, no hit lists, just a cry for help with a note on a bathroom wall. Anyone with common sense can see he has paid a price for his actions. Jail time and being called a terrorist is excessive. -

ReplyAnd what punishment did the bullies get? Nicholas Olson was "affected" by bullies daily... for years.

My daughter had a very similar experience at GHS. Thankfully my daughter had enough self esteem to move on, find new supportive friends, and deal with her tormenter. The bullies of today are very good at looking like positive and upstanding students to school officials. My daughter's bully was chosen/nominated by teachers as a peer mentor and my daughter wasn't the only one she bullied.

VW- A late start would have been great. But the leadership in the GSD couldn't even make that decision in a timely manner.
