The governor also said an undetermined amount of regular gasoline also would be saved by allowing teachers, other school staff members and some parents to stay home those days. Electricity also would be conserved by keeping the schools closed. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>If the fuel is already in the buses and staff's cars, is it really saved?
Is the school system turning off all power to the schools? If not, how much is really being saved because all the normal base functions will still be operating?
Hmmmm, sounds like a great idea, but won't have a real impact. Great for publicity, though.
