With temperatures in the negative this week in the Magic City, Billings Public Schools are continuing their operations under the current conditions with winter protocols put in place.
“We have to think of the entire community. If we closed today on such short notice, we still have parents that have to report to work. That would mean parents may be forced to leave their kids home alone, or have to find last minute childcare that they can't get.”
“A lot of our students need food through our backpack lunch programs. And with a long weekend coming up, some of those kids may not have any food over the weekend unless that food is provided for them.”
