| Gov requested schools shut down Monday & Tuesday Governor Purdue requested that all of GA schools take holidays for Monday & Tuesday & that non essential state & county personnel take those days off as well. Ethan does not have school Monday or Tuesday. Not every district as of yet has agreed to this. I read that with the schools not being open those 2 days that it would be a savings of over 250,000 gallons of diesel. I'm not sure if that is for the whole state or not. Not to mention the savings of staff not reporting in. Anyway I just thought that I was surprised to hear of there not being any school Monday & Tuesday. Just wanted to share this with everyone.

| It is due to gas shortage, I heard it in the news last night. This is becoming pretty scary!

| They decided to do that yesterday even before the storm hit. My sister said it was because of an anticipated gas shortage.

I'm sure it did. We don't have a shortgage here. This is just as a precaution to keep from having one. The schools allow so many snow days even though. We may have to use 1 - 2 max a year. Last year we didn't use any. So Gov Perdue decided to use 2 at the first of the week to save on gas. In cas Rita was as bad or worse than anticipated.
