Pretty hilarious that schools are delayed tomorrow, but at least they aren't cancelled. If they were, I'd be all in on JH's comments.
I'm glad jhmd trusts the bus driver to drive his kids on icy roads at 7:15 in the morning.
a) There's no precipitation in the forecast.

As long as his kids get to school safely, other kids don't matter.

and there's no other way for moisture to get on the roads that could then freeze?

Depending in the school they may use minimal heat durin the night. It could be on a timer and require a technician to reset. This is often the case with private schools and some public schools. Sometimes it's harder or impossible to get a technician in on time and best just to delay.
As someone who has worked in a school, the administrators have your best interest in mind. This isn't a decision made without thinking. Often lots of people are brought in on the decision and it's likely that the discussion began days ago when the forecast began showing the low temperatures.
In WSFCS, middle school students will be waiting for the bus is 7 degrees tomorrow (without a delay).
My brother is in Alabama right now & said school in Montgomery was cancelled today. High was around 30 or so.
I'm not sure that people realize how cold 5 degrees with -10 to -20 wind chills really is. Especially in places where it so rarely gets below 20 and there is no reason to be prepared for that extreme type of weather.
