Thank you FCPS parent! We are all in this mess together it seems.

Today and tomorrow are religious observance days when no teaching is allowed, o assignments can be given or due, no sports events can take place, no speakers assemblies or pep rallies can happen, etc., etc, because some Hindu or Eastern Orthodox kids might be out and equity demands that if one kid can’t learn, the 179,999 can’t learn. . We have 12 such da FYI (pile on the learning loss). FCPS was never going to open if there was a slick spot on any sidewalk in the county because it’s not worth it for an non-instructional day with huge absentee rates in the best of time. And no parent would send their kid and risk Omicron for “sit there quietly while I grade papers day” (MS/HS) or movie day (ES)), unless they had an ES kid and legit needed childcare (and I’m a working mom, so I don’t say that with snark).

I’m so sorry out f**ked up policies are hurting other counties now. We should at least keep our crazy to ourselves. We’ll vote the God awful SB out in 2023. I promise.

Wow. How about you keep your gratuitous and racist anti-Hindu rant on the FCPS board. My FCPS kid has half her classmates out on those holidays. So get out of your bubble. And keep your comments to snow days on this thread. Civility really has been lost.

They just called it. APS No school 1/7.

It will be so funny when there is barely any snow.

It’s going to be below freezing and there is lots of water pooled on sidewalks. As much as I really want to go back to work this was probably the right call.

Let's just go back to virtual, this is ridiculous! A whole week they could've been learning at least something, getting back into the swing of things post-vacation.

Now we know and my brain can reset. It’s stressful but I’m glad to know today rather than guess all night.

You could use that excuse all winter though. I have been driving around plenty and I don’t see any hazardous conditions. Plus they said that school could’ve opened today if not for the cluster that is Ffx county. So I don’t buy that.

FCPS is too big. I would love to see it broken up into smaller districts. Much easier to pivot.

OMG, you realize it's a CHRISTIAN HOLIDAY that is why we were already out for two weeks, PP? You are so stupid.

It's a joke that you all think APS closed because of Fairfax County. This is all about Covid. You know that, right? I mean, get real. So many staff members would have called out sick b/c they have Covid or are isolating that APS could not reasonably staff ALL the schools. Stop blaming this on another school system - this is 100% about Covid and Fairfax is just taking the blame.

I’m the PP and I’m in APS. My point is Fairfax’s size negatively impacts us.

The next time it snows they go virtual anyway. Tomorrow is the last “snow day” they can take.
