with temps dipping into the teens overnight, re- freezing will be a problem in some areas this morning. be especially cautious when traveling on untreated roads and in rural areas. the frigid temperatures are making it almost unbearable to spend any length of time outside. and that's why one norwood man was so upset when he saw kids waiting in the cold, to get inside their school. fox19 now's megan o'rourke talked with the superintendent and has his explanation. :04 "it's 5 after 8 and we are at williams elementary

school and they won't let these kids in the school because it's not policy to let kids in the school" :13 bundled up, backpacks on...but with no where to go. rob taylor captured this video while dropping off his niece before school earlier this week. listen as he expresses concern about these 5 kids having to wait in the cold. :20 "i"m just wondering why these kids can't come in and sit right there, it's below zero? because i don't have anybody here to watch them. they can't sit right here on the steps? the board policy, the building policy, is 8:10" :29 outraged,taylor posted the video to our fox19 now facebook page...and it's prompting a lot of conversation in the community...especia lly among parents. brandy johnson- mother 23:57:28 i think it's ridiculous work and these kids its somebody there at the school. there's a teacher or somebody that could sit in the media center or the gym, as opposed to standing now, the district is responding...and superintedent rob amodio stands by his principal. 5:19 "i think mr. gabbard handled that appropriately, he began to communicate what the school policy is about when our children are allowed in

the buildings" :27 the superintendent says student safety is what's more important. so, they'll do a better job moving forward communicating arrival times. but, as far as changing policy-- there are no plans. 1:45 "really the issue is, in a perfect world schools would be open 24 hours a day. we have a great emphasis on keeping our students safe, warm and dry once they are in buildings, but we just can't let students into the building when we do not have the staff, our teaching and support staff because then it creates tremendous liability issues" 2:06 there's some relief there's some relief for the people of flint, michigan, amid a water crisis. the state house approved 28-million dollars in emergency funding.. but is that really enough? the city's water problem began in 20-14, when the state temporarily switched the city's water source to the flint river to save money. eventually experts found the water to be highly corrosive and full of lead. flint's mayor says the costs to undo

half billion dollars. "there have been estimates out there, but that's only about infrastructure. that's why we can't say exactly what we need because how do you put a cost on what's happened to what we've done to people." many people have stepped up to help the city-- including cher. she sent tens of thousands of bottles of water to the flint food bank. oregon's governor is frustrated with the federal government's handling of the occupation of a national wildlife refuge by an armed group. governor kate brown says the government needs to end the occupation quickly "and hold all of the wrongdoers accountable." brown also wants the feds to pick up state expenses, roughly one- hundred thousand dollars a week, used to pay for extra local law enforcement and food. today is squirrel appreciation day. the national holiday is was created by a wildlife rehabilitator in north carolina... with the goal of
