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.

Consolidating some of the stops near us would require that kids cross a street with a posted speed limit of 40 that absolutely no one actually pays attention to, and has no crossing guards. As an adult, it can be perilous to cross it while walking the dog. I'm sure that many of the stops also include the ones for children that need special accommodations, so it would never be any greater than one kid per stop.

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.

I think they go virtual after so many days.

Reid said in 2023 they wouldn’t, I didn’t see that get rolled back.

Someone posted a photo of the Greenbriar West ES parking lot (the kiss and ride area if I'm orienting myself correctly) in a facebook group, sorry I don't know how to post it here but it's about 15% black and the rest a sheet of ice. Prepare now because they aren't going to open Friday. Or Monday if get any added snowfall this weekend.

They can't go in July-sorry to burst that bubble.

VDOT needs to salt or sand these bus routes. The thin layer of melted snow/ice will freeze into a dangerous sheet of ice. This was a good call.

That would be a departure from Reid saying “eliminating virtual learning days will enable us to maximize our in-person learning and provide for equitable access to instruction and student services for each and every one of our students.”

Hope she enjoys telling teachers to work in July.

LOL...not in my book but parents who want to put kids on busses down unplowed icy streets are pretty horrible in my opinion.

They have to do the hours…and she got rid of the snow days for the asinine early release which spreads a three day training into May… so either she’s going to need to get her central office staff out there shoveling, end early release, or continue the school year later.

No one is going to school in July...but if it feels better for you to go on about this and vent-have at it.

So where do you think they’re making up the legally mandated instructional hours, wise sage?

There are 10 snow days built in. Our kids will be fine.

Damn right. Must protect the Hayfield football team at all costs. They are the county’s treasure. Ironic, since they’re technically the Prince William county treasure. But I digress.
