Dear Editor:
My wife and I did not take the car out on Monday out of respect to our fellow residents, road crews and emergency /police personnel. You, Mr. Seitz, Superintendent of Schools put our students and staff at risk. Parsippany’s population due to business environment increases tremendously Monday thru Friday. I’ve seen you close schools with two inches of snow. The hills, winding roads and low areas in Parsippany make for very dangerous driving in normal conditions. Did you, Mr. Seitz make your decision after speaking with Parsippany’s Police Chief and Mayor?
The previous Monday schools were closed to make for a much needed three day weekend, I’m being sarcastic, two weeks earlier was the ten day holiday break. By the way, in my opinion, schools should be open to celebrate the day for Martin Luther King Jr’s life so that this generation can be exposed to what this country was like in the 1950’s and 1960’s.
Obviously, I hope nobody was hurt or in an accident due to Mr. Seitzs poor decision. The current Board of Education better start making common sense decisions as to the welfare, safety and education of the students.
