Children will be going to school today

Not on Monday they weren't... well not outside NYC. All schools were
closed in the worst affected areas of New York State and further North
along the coastal areas such as Boston, to allow further snow
clearance operations to take place on Monday


ISTR that schools in the US are bound by law to be open for a certain number of
days per year. If they lose days due to the weather, and it can happen in the
summer as well if the heat is deemed excessive, they must take days from the
school vacation period to make the time up.

Workers who fail to get into work can also lose pay if they don't make it up by
working extra hours, although I guess that would apply here in the private
sector.
