Presidents have their day after all - school cancelled

Posted by Fred Steiner on February 21, 2011 - 4:54am

The presidents had their day after all. Monday, Feb. 21, was originally to be a holiday for Bluffton schools. Then, when the school system used its three cancellation days, Feb. 21 was placed back on the school calendar as a "school day."

Not so fast. At 5:56 a.m., the icy weather caused a two-hour delay. Then at 7:49 a.m., Greg Denecker, Bluffton superintendent, announced school was cancelled due to the ice.

Unless the Ohio legislature acts quickly, Bluffton's spring vacation in March will be cut short.
