Where’s the poor guy who was supposed to be there at work at 7? I hope he got the news!

So they closed 1 hour after the time to reassess and the time of the message online says 7:28 pm

Yup!

I think the 5am was a mistake in the original message just like it accidentally said Tuesday. Whenever there’s a delay they decide by 7, not 5.

This was inevitable once OPM closed. They have never opened when the feds were closed. Nobody wants to stick their neck out and I probably wouldn’t either in that position.

I bet the stagger who updates the messages is out with Covid and they have an intern doing it

All the snow days this week seem like divine intervention. I’ve been sending my son in to school but I’m breathing a small sign of relief. The lack of communication by MCPS about their COVID policy and consistency is baffling. McKnight needs to go.

Curious….What do working parents do when school is closed all week? Or is everyone working from home these days?

Yup still at home. It’s like March of 2020 again.

Negative much. They sent out notification around 6:15am, and had announced 2hr delay last evening. Good grief

For us, it’s one time when we benefit from having one parent who is a non-teleworking fed. Was floored when OPM called it when they did though!

My high school kid is walking to the bus stop before 7. I thought they decided at 5am most of the time (we are new to MCPS).

It’s still hard to get any work done with kids running around the house all day.

Many have no choice but to leave the children to fend for themselves. At the younger elementary level, that means no school work is etting done.

I have a friend who is a single mom to an 8 and a 6 year old. She has to drastically cut her hours to be home with them. So less income for her.
