“Although current projections for this storm track for Tropical Storm Nestor indicate that our area will be spared the greatest part of the storm, the district does not want students to travel during inclement weather.

So like you’d be “Happy” sitting in the football stadium for two hours in this rain and cool temps which will be getting chillier after sundown?
Your coffee would get cold quicker and the hot dog buns will get soggy.
Not my idea of where I want to be.
Unhappy… Yea. Lets cancel school and academics so we can have football games and dances. Get real. Outside activities are great, but we hat is. It the purpose of school.
This is the best we could do? Ruin all the fun things but keep school open? Sad
