You can't say they could just go to the library here as the context is the idea of a snow day meaning the roads must be too bad to go to the library if they are too bad to go to school.

What about internet service providers who still meter home data? The community member who mentioned the school paying for it now does have a legit argument.

Valid point!

I suppose this kind of plan would have to be area specific and perhaps with no "penalties" for not participating for such a reason.

I still wonder if she wanted the district to pay for her internet when the kids did homework though...because she has the internet but doesn't think her kids should use it for school if required to.
