There's only one snow day built in to the calendar. We shouldn't be burning it on a dusting to 1 inch (as called by CWG)

You'll never be Superintendent with that attitude.

If that happens: ES 11am to 1pm or 11:25 to 1:25pm. Buses start for some more than an hour earlier that school start. Can mcps use school buses to shuttle lunch to FARMs students in inclement weather?

If they could do that, then why not bring them to school?

It’s irresponsible to only put one snow day in the calendar, given the historical circumstances in which we typically have more each year.

My school district growing up had 3 school days built into the calendar. If we didn’t use them all, school let out earlier in june

All the options had the same number of days.

Why let out early? Just slow down the last month or so and do some enrichment or fun activities.

Kids are fried. Parents start pulling them for camp and vacation.

MCPS teacher here. The calendar survey has nothing to do with the number of emergency days built into the calendar. Once MCPS started closing on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, they reduced emergency days from 2 down to 1. 2 days has never been enough, 1 is certainly not. And we do frequently use that one day before Winter Break begins.

Camps aren't going to start if there are scheduled school days left.

When are they announcing a decision? APS has already called delay!

Why? It's better to wait until 5am to see if it ends up being a dud.
