A-B Tech: Change Handling of Inclement Weather
A-B Tech's handling of inclement weather has repeatedly compromised the safety of it's students, staff and faculty. We believe that the well-being and safety of these people matter and that the handling of inclement weather should reflect this belief. If public schools and four year Universities in Buncombe county are closed due to inclement weather, A-B Tech should also be closed.
Why is this important?
Many of us have noticed that A-B Tech often remains open while other schools and colleges in Buncombe County deem it unsafe to do so due to inclement weather conditions. A community college with a rigid attendance policy, prepared to tell their students, staff and faculty when they must be present, should be equally prepared to tell those students, staff and faculty when they are not required to be present. People's safety matters.
