In my opinion, it is better to err on the side of caution and prioritize student safety above all else. I remember one winter when the temperature dropped to -25\u00b0F, and some students still walked to school because they did not want to miss class. It was a dangerous situation, and thankfully, the school eventually closed for the day. I believe that schools should always consider the safety of their students when making closure decisions.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span>FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<dl>\n<dt>Q: What temperature should schools close?<\/dt>\n<dd>A: There is no one-size-fits-all temperature threshold for school closures.
