There were a few times, when I lived in Tennessee that schools were closed for cold due to budgetary reasons.

I think it was when D was in 2nd grade, they closed for a week because the temps were not getting above -10F and in order to heat the building to anything approaching comfort, the fuel budget would have been blown for the year. They just added the days to the end of the term.

i thought about the heating, too; so that makes sense. especially for not-usually-frigid places. -- nm - b! Jan 14, 16:02
