It the power in the entire area is out, there won't be any school.

Really? I spent a month in a local school during and after a
hurricane. Their diesel generator was still running when I left. That's
different from an ice storm, but I haven't seen a public school without
a large power plant in over 25 years.

I've never seen one *WITH* one. If it's not safe for the kiddies on the
street, they're closed.
