I found this article coming out of Alaska and feel it is not unlike the fiscal struggles of just about any entity that needs to handle the costs of snow and ice removal. Public entities such as school districts have unique issues in comparison to a private company but the end results need to be the same. Move the snow, get rid of the ice in the most efficient manner.
