City schools' attendance slides on snowy Monday
Oklahoma City Public Schools saw a dip in attendance Monday that officials attributed to the snow. About 11,000 students, or 30 percent of the district's enrollment, did not attend classes Monday, district spokeswoman Tierney Tinnin said. On a normal day, about 3,000 students are absent. “It's highly likely that the parents elected to keep their students home today due to the early morning weather,” Tinnin said. “They ultimately are going to make the decision that's in the best interest of their kids, and we understand that completely.” Bus drivers checked roads throughout the district early Monday, Tinnin said. No accidents were reported.
