The death of Gabriel Andrews stunned residents in the Bluegrass State’s capital city. The boy was caught in floodwaters early Friday while walking to the bus stop, police said. After an extensive search, his body was found about two hours after police were notified.
Gabriel’s death sparked questions from some who wondered why the Franklin County school district chose not to cancel in-person classes Friday when strong storms produced flash flooding.
States have idiotic rules that schools must be open X days a year to receive funding. So schools do everything they can to stay open during disasters so they don’t have to add days at the end of the school year.
It’s always about funding.
