All eyes on MPS this week
Mother Nature throws the kitchen sink at us the next several days with snow, wind, and cold.
Our corner of the world will revolve around the Milwaukee Public Schools, anxiously awaiting how they will react to the hodgepodge of weather. They close and just about everyone else tosses in the towel, too.
Many, many years ago, an MPS insider told me any announcement to close isn’t based on amount of snow, the temperature, or the wind chill factor. Whether or not to have classes depends on the school buses. If they start, the school bells ring. I'm not sure if the same criteria holds true today but it does seem to make sense.
