With lots of snow in the last two days, all schools in the area were closed yesterday. Columbus called off for today because:
"Superintendent Gene Harris ... she chose to close the schools after touring neighborhoods yesterday afternoon and seeing people walking in the streets because so many sidewalks weren't shoveled."

On the district website: ""Due to the conditions of the side streets and sidewalks where students walk to school and wait for school buses, Columbus City Schools will be closed on Wed., February 17."
There are pretty big consequences to not clearing your sidewalks, even if the city doesn't enforce codes. Kids can't get to school. As a result, thousands of students are out of school (and now will be making up the day in June), and parents either missing work, or otherwise left to scramble for appropriate care.
