It's hard to imagine how parents could be upset reading well-reasoned explanations like that. The school board can't predict the future, and can only make an educated guess what to do based on weather forecasts and what roads and temperatures are likely to be.
Outhit doesn't actually identify what the outraged tweets were about. Is it because buses were delayed? Delays can be expected: most things move slower in the cold. Do parents think they should have been cancelled because it was so cold? The outraged parents themselves could have kept their kids home from school- or walked them to school instead of busing- if they didn't want them waiting for the bus. Again, with the expectation that unusual weather could result in bus delays.
