| Just saw on MocoShow that there’s a chance of snow tomorrow afternoon. Odds of an early dismissal? |

| Very unlikely. It takes a LOT for an early release. There id no guarantee parents will show up. |

| That’s very wishful thinking. |

| Yes, because of icy spots in many areas |

I don’t expect it. It’s happened fewer than ten times since I moved to MoCo in the late ‘90s. It’s incredibly disruptive to schools, which have to rush to change schedules so all kids can be fed lunch. One year that I taught 8th grade, our lunch period was at 12:30. Instead, the cafeteria staff brought sandwiches to all of the 8th grade classrooms at noon while 7th graders ate in the cafeteria. Plus, parents complain. |

| What about canceling evening activities? Big parent night planned tonight at my son’s school. Don’t want to miss the info but sounds like there could be a lot of black ice in the dark. |

| This phrase early release makes it sound like MCPS is a kid prison. |

| With the cold and the small chance that it snows, I really don’t know why mcps hasn’t made an early dismissal call yet |
