But with the current conditions (which I agree are bad on some side streets), and the weather not changing to mid-40s+ and/or rain to melt the ice … there is no way to open in the foreseeable future and that is the problem.

why is it a problem?

virtual learning will have to kick in if we are in a longer term of not being able to physically go to school in the buildings.

learning will prevail.

Virtual learning is a joke

Louder for those in the back.

I assume different plow companies have their own designated areas and priorities.

In my old neighborhood, our plow contractor was responsible for hospitals so we were literally the last street plowed. My neighbors were livid.

Our current street was plowed first.

I’m sure the rec centers have their own contracts.

Are contractors or VDOT having time finding workers? Or equipment?

Can we please give everyone a break here? Prince William is still a mess, and it would be unsafe to get the Hayfield football team bussed in. Not to mention the 7-11 parking lot they get dropped off at, also a mess. The 2025 state football champs need to be protected. Safety first! Go Hayfield!!

Well it’s a good thing Reid decreased the number of built-in snow days this year to accommodate the early release Monday debacle. At this rate the teachers won’t have done their training (that the rest of the state knocked out in three days) and they’ll still be teaching on Fourth of July.

Dr Reid is a failure

I think they go virtual after so many days.

There are 180,000 students (some of whom are siblings and/or share an address). Some of them are walkers but many ride buses. FCPS has the 7th largest bus fleet in the nation and 2nd highest ridership numbers.

FCPS continues to be bad at math. 180,000 students divided by 45,000 bus stops gives you 4 kids per bus stop.

In what world does that make sense.

My kid has two at their bus stop...not sure I'm following your "thoughts" here

There should be a lot fewer stops. In my simple math explanation I didn’t factor in kids that walk or drive to school. So, not unreasonable to have kids walk a sufficient distance to have 12 or more kids per stop. That would reduce number of stops to 15,000 or less.

Virtual shouldn’t count
