Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS)
I'm off the beaten path and they've been by twice today already. And they had already cleared it last night. I'm west of Germantown. |
| They will open on time for Monday. Then it will get warm so doubt even with the potential for snow later in the week that we will have another closure. |
| If they close on Sunday, they'll definitely close for Monday too. Or at least 2hr delay |
Code Green / Normal operations for Sunday, Jan. 21 |
Which street? I have difficulty believing that. |
| 9 degrees at 7am Monday morning. Any predictions? |
I predict kids will be wearing winter jackets. Is that a trick question? Or some kind of joke? |
It was code red today because of the cold….just sayin.’ |
No, it was due to snow/ice. It is nonsensical, but MCPS needs 48+ hours to clear snow. 9 degree temperatures are fine. Wear a hat. |
| Will there be a 2 hr delay? |
Huh? They're not expecting snow or rain on Sunday or Monday morning. Why would there be a delay? |
Half the kids wear short sleeves in winter without a real jacket, and half of those were in shorts this weekend |
I think a fairly large percentage of walkers will be in pants and winter jackets tomorrow. |
Are you going to come back to explain this question? Tomorrow morning is going to be like this morning. Why would there be a delay? |

Let me preface by saying I don't think any delay is remotely warranted BUT I have given up hope of any sense in MCPS. The standard they set - and that some parents here seem to think is reasonable - is insane; schools are delayed or closed at the threat of bad weather, or because there might be a shred of ice or snow on the ground, or because it's cold. Which is totally ridiculous. And I live near an ES where the sidewalks that surround the school property (e.g., not neighboring houses) remain unshoveled.
So I won't be surprised if there is a delay tomorrow. It would be stupid and totally unnecessary, but I've given up hope of MCPS doing the right thing. |
