Would've seemed like a good day for the schools to make up for weather closures earlier this year.  They (primarily Springfield) were pleading poverty about having to stay in session the required days.  Having school today during the regularly scheduled school year should not have cost any extra.
Roseburg schools chose to have school today as a make-up day.  Perhaps the Springfield Admin bunch should give them a call.  (Or probably not, they already had vacation plans for this weekend I suppose.)
