Gen:Snowed-in overnighter

[Claudia Mahlman <cmahlman@FIFTH.BANGOR.K12.ME.US>]

After seeing today's news report of Buffalo's snow-in overnighter in their
schools, I was curious how schools deal with handling their children when
they are restricted overnight in the building. Imagining the logistics of
handling hundreds of teenagers for 15+ hours seems overwhelming.

For those of you that have faced this type of problem, what accommodations
and restrictions should be made to make the experience as comfortable for
staff and student as possible? Did your administration have plans in place
for such an emergency? How was the librarian or library used during the
event?

If I receive any responses I'll post a HIT.
