When you see this sign, what are your first thoughts? (Click on the image to enlarge it; then click on the Back button on your browser to come right back here.)
Do you wonder why someone isn't assigned to change the sign after an event has passed?
Couldn't sign changes be rotated among classes or assigned to a service club at the school or managed by a select team of students? How about a prize to the first three students who show up at Principal Lara-Oliva's office to inform him that the sign needs to be changed?
A school needn't incur large labor costs to maintain these changeable-lettering signs.
What other District 200 schools don't keep their outdoor signs current?

Boy, you're hitting the important stuff now. Traffic violations must be down. If you look at the dates, they cover the month of April. If you had kids in school you would understand the importance of the dates posted on the sign. The "late starts" are a pain for parents. They are usually late by 1 hour; Which really screws things up for parents that drop kids off on the way to work. So you have to make other arrangements, or pay $5 for Kids Club. The service the sign plays is to let parents know the dates while "passing by", as compared to realizing the night before or the morning of that there is a late start. But you just need something to bitch about, now don't you. Damn the facts.
Kyle, you're right. It was really important to read on April 19 that there had been a late start on April 8 and no school on April 10. How'd I miss that?
Late Starts? I was going to write a long comment here, but it's worthy of its own article. Thanks for the nudge.
