They (Fairfield) don't listen or head the warnings from the county. Considering that almost all their schools are surrounded by streets that have excess water or under water. Kids will be kids and test all waters no matter how high. Some bus drivers said they were worrried about the high waters they were having to drive through. Having a 2-hr. delay is better than not getting there at all.
