Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS)
GOOD for them. MD counties are all smaller. Plus they didn't get the same snow or as much? |
Sorry I forgot Loudoun. They will be open tomorrow as well |
But 2/17 is not a makeup. So MD would allow 2/16 and then they would be off. Doesn’t make sense |
Omg, no. MoCo is not unique in how much snow we got https://www.wusa9.com/article/weather/weather-impact/dc-snow-totals-how-much-snow/65-bbf265aa-5d06-435a-bba5-40bd509296d5 |
MCPS could opt to make 2/17 a school day if they wanted to. |

me! |
If MCPS is too big to open, how do you explain NYC which is 10x bigger and didn't close for a single day after the storm? They had 1 virtual day on Monday after the storm, and were in person every day after that. They didn't close because there was a stray sidewalk in the Bronx that hadn't been shoveled. They wanted schools to be open, and they opened them. |
Closed! |
It's because they are 10x bigger don't you see s/ There is always an excuse |
Stop spamming. It hasn't been posted yet. |
| Other districts are opening because they know if looks absurd to close into a week. McPS will make a decision based on conditions out there and how it will impact getting to and from school. That's why it's "better" than other counties. |

Updated list from Washington Post for openings today.
