Tribune Columnist Takes Over Snow Day Duties
Over at the Tribune, columnist Eric Zorn has single-handedly taken over CPS's snow day announcement operation (Change of Subject). First, he got them to promise to update their website more frequently. Then he got them to add an announcement on the phone system that will let folks know what's going on with snow. It won't be long before it's his voice that we hear on those announcements. And, by winter's end, I predict that CPS will be asking Zorn to make snow day decisions for the city school system.

He's got a point. How hard is it to update a website remotely? Not hard at all. The phone system is not good enough, when I called that number it was busy for a long time. (like 10+ minutes).
They need to have an update on the website. Whenever it's snowing a lot. Even if there is school. Today is Thursday, February 7, and school is open. (delayed, closed, whatever instructions need to be there).

Here is one even CPS can't screw up, since school will ALWAYS be open...no need to ever change the message! Happy winter.

Now we need to put Eric Zorn on the payroll mess. Maybe he can get our sick days and personal days back!

When I got through to the weather update line that CPS had in red in the top right corner of their web page....I got a message that said their office doesn't open until 8 am. Yeah. Thanks.

I don't really see a point--Chicago doesn't have snow days. I think if we had a 1967 blizzard they still wouldn't close the schools. Until that changes, its basically announcing that Franco is still dead.
