Oil City Protest School Closure by Boycotting School

Oil City residents are furious at the recent school closures for weather concerns. "We don't want our kids home! Sending them to school is the only way we get our sanity" states Amelia Earbrain, pilot from the Franklin City Airport.

Parents are so upset, that they are threatening not to send their kids to school if the school does not agree to open up again. Some are even threatening to homeschool their children until the school agrees to open up.

The principal of the school district says that the closing is only temporary until the weather becomes warmer. With the temperature being as low as 55 degrees, the school board determined it was best not to risk the children getting sick.

Temperatures are expected to rise again next week. By then, the schools have agreed to open their doors once again and let kids in. Residents are still upset and say they will continue to boycott until then.
