| Tues afternoon temps in upper 30s. Chance of snow Wed morning with temps right above 32. Then another chance of snow Fri. Forecast could change. Predictions for school delays and closures? |

| MCPS will use any excuse to delay or close because they don’t care about educating your kids. |

Sadly I think this is probably right. |

| I think they will close Monday, open regular Tuesday, hopefully get a lot of work done with ice removal on Tuesday when temps are slightly above freezing, but then have delays on other days. |

No. You just want free childcare under the pretense of pretending to care about education. |

My kid is perfectly happy watching tablet all day while I work from home. This isn't about child care. It's about the fact they're missing their education. |

Nope. My kid doesn’t go to MCPS. I just pay property taxes into a system that’s too crappy for me to even want to send her to. But as it happens, the general social arrangement is: Adults work Kids go to school The former doesn’t work well without the latter. It’s not “free childcare.” It’s a working society. |

No.
Open all week. OP, do not forget that there is immense pressure on school systems to not extend the school year once multiple snow days have been taken. So any cold temps, any ancillary snow, will be ignored. The issue will be if we get another legit snowstorm. Then school systems in the area will be forced to close again. But you can be damn sure that after a week of closure, none are closing for a few cold snowflakes! |

| Open Monday. Let's go! This was a bad storm but we can do it. |

| We should just raise taxes so this doesn’t happen again. |

We already pay thousands of dollars a year into a system that’s crappy enough that we don’t even send our kid there. I’m really not inclined to pay even more into it. |

| It's VERY windy today. Do NOT make people work in this WIND to clear FREEZING RAIN that can't be cleared easily. Allow teachers to post a few assignments to let students complete at home if they wish. Assign readings. Etc. |

So when do you propose MCPS opens? It’s not going to be above freezing until Tuesday, and then it’ll only be a high of 35. After that, the next above freezing day is Feb 10th at 39 degrees. |

Ok. Feb 10th then. Or when the County has cleared the school bus routes. The 13,000+ bus stops. ALL 211 schools including parking lots. Walkways and sidewalks along walking routes to and front school, crosswalks. Shall we go on? |
