Is there something in it for them? I’m pretty sure they get paid even if school is called off. For example today, there is snow, local colleges have announced that they will be closed. Our nearest local high school though announced there might be an early release but they hope not? And it is the Friday before spring break week off, seems like they would welcome the extra day off doesn’t it.

school typically are required by law to provide a certain number of days of instruction. If they cancel for snow, they have to make it up elsewhere
it’s also disruptive to their staff – they have hundreds of teachers who have plans for the day – if they cancel everything gets shifted
cancelling school means parents have to arrange alternate childcare, which means many may miss work. Colleges do not have this problem
