Glasgow schol shut 1 December

[prettybird]

Just in case anyone hasn't found out yet - especially as the GCC website has fallen over - all Glasgow schools are shut today.

No reason why teachers cannot help out at their local schools if they can't travel to one further away. Schools closing is a nightmare for working parents as it is a struggle to find babysitters day after day. Glasgow Council - get our schools opened please!

Aw shucks- am so chuffed to be remembered here- thanks!

It's actually my aunt that I'm dealaing with- she's also in Clydebank, in the Hospice there, after spending most of this year in and out of Gartnavel and the Western. And of course, there's other family complications to add to the mix, which I won't go into.

I may well be passing your dad PB, although it's mostly at night that I'm out. Sorry to here about your mum, I know she was a strong woman from yur posts- although I can't remember her from school.

Everybody wants schools opened and back to normal, but the big picture needs to be looked at. The Police are saying not to travel as the roads are treacherous- anyone can see that. Pavements are a nightmare for accessing the schools too. Schools are not babysitters.

I drove to Silverburn from Pollokshields: even St Andrews Drive and Dumbrek Road were still nightmare-ish. I'm (if I say so myself) relatively proficient at driving on snow and ice - and even I was nervous. Even main roads are still icebound and are badly rutted with chunks of ice which could easily cause cars to swerve. The temperature is too low for salt to work.

I know it was on police advice that the schools were shut today: I honestly don't see that anything has changed. Imagine the outcry if they were to re-open and a teacher or :( a child was killed as a result of trying to get to school in the snow and ice.

Literally just updated on GCC's twitter site: Glasgow school will remain closed tomorrow, 9th December.

Glasgow schools

so sorry to hear of all of your hassles and worries re the auld yins.

i'm glad the schools are closed, the ice is three inches thick round here and the pavements are deadly. i want my lot IN, thanks v much. also a couple of teachers i know reported to their local schools today and were dismissed (much to their DELIGHT )

Glasgow City Council have asked teaching staff to report to their nearest school. Staff are meant to be in today.All other councils have closed to staff and pupils.

That's the same as yesterday too!

North Lanarkshire have announced that ASN, nursery and primary schools will be closed to pupils until Monday. An announcement re secondary will be made this afternoon.

Of course GCC website is down! Have had word from my transport that they MAY be opening schools again and asking if I was planning on sending them. Too bloomin' right I am.

Well If you rely on dedicated transport to the Gaidhlig school apparently it's all been cancelled till monday. Not happy.

News dripping out of South Lan is that.....

we're OPEN tomorrow!

what about if you are so sick of the sight of your children that you are prepared to dig the car out and take them to the gaidhlig school, falach?

phoned fairline coaches, they say they were prepared to go out tomorrow but the cooncil says naw.

Not so much sick of them as they are of each other! It might come to that, either that or take the bus from the end of the road!

i have asked for clarification re SGG. if there are no buses, there isn't much point in opening?

Fo you mean 'the Gaelic school? Tis closed according to city council.

east ren open, kids disgusted, this mother relieved, have all been bouncing off the walls

Had a school text from the Gaelic School to say it will be open tomorrow. As the transport is off its drive them yourself or take another day off.
