I think it depends on where you are from.
Here in South Carolina, we rarely get snow (we usually get an ice storm every winter, though) and if they deem the roads "too slippery", they don't run the buses and usually cancel school. But snow is rare around here.
Edit: Hi Monstrar. Sorry my Messenger is acting stupid again. Did you know we're the same person? *lol*

Where I live school is rarely cancelled. Only the few Nor'easters a year is when it is cancelled. We got about 4 inches yesterday, and they made a very bad call cancelling school. There was no need.
Besdies that, last school year, there were 3 snow days. One was a major ice storm, one was a comfortable 1 foot ish snow, and the last was a freak April 7 or 8 inch storm.
But then there were the ones where the power was lost and there was no heat or water, so kids weren't allowed in, and the senior prank where all the bus tires were slit.
Oh, and the day where it snowed so much that it took kids about 3 extra hours for their busses to come becasue the roads were so bad in the afternoon. So 3 extra hours sitting in the school.
But it all depends on where you live.

It depends on where you live. Not only the state but the city/town...In my hometown, no matter how much snow we got, school would never be canceled. At the most it might be delayed for 2 hours only. Now where I live, it's pretty much the same thing. Only if there is a big snow storm will school probably be canceled.
If you're talking about city buses, I have no idea how much snow it takes for them to be canceled. The other day we had a big snow storm mixed with a bit of rain, and there was only a 30 minute delay.

Well it all depends on how much snow there is. Where you live. There are a lot of factors that need to be determined. Is there going to be ice? The visibility factor. We can't really determine that for you since there is nothing to consider. In Northern Minnesota where I was born and raised, it would have to be extremely bad for them to cancel school. I'm talking blizzard conditions. And in Winnipeg where I used to live, they hardly ever cancelled school because of snow unless that temps were below -30.

In vegas we don't get snow like ever so there is like a 1% chance the buses would be cancelled. Then again, if you lived in Canada or something, their buses might be cancelled now.

Where I live we get snow constantly for about 5 months of the year. It has to be a blizzard, ice storm or at least a foot of snow overnight for the buses to be cancelled. I live in the Rocky Mtn region.

I live in southern New Mexico, where it snows occasionally. Everytime it does snow, classes are canceled for the day.

it doesnt matter on the snow. well it does but..
if the roads are icy, then the busses cant get the kids at the stops.
which means school closes.
for snow to cancel school it depends where you live.

Depends on location. Here in VA, they cancel school if it LOOKS like it'll snow.
On the other hand, they'll make you trudge through foot deep snow to get to school in CO.

Lots. Usually 12 inches. But it also depends on visibility. If the bus drivers can't see than it is unsafe to take pupils to school.
