Topic: School Closing Widget

I wish to see a widget which displays whether a local school is closed or delayed due to snow, et al.  I know this would be difficult to generalize given the no central repository of information, but at least a preliminary one can be made for one region, perhaps by screen scraping a website.

Re: School Closing Widget

Yeah, the big trick here is getting the data from somewhere in a form that's usable - otherwise it's a pretty simple widget.

I know this is only for Chicago, IL area but maybe there are similiar sites for other areas.
