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

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.

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

There were.

She reduced them for elementary school to do the seven early release days. Awkward year to make that call.

Mad mommy loves snow days (and frankly thinks we should be closed given the state of the roads), but enjoys seeing stupid decisions have immediate karmic repercussions. Turns out this was a bad year to get rid of snow days in an effort to curry favor with teachers.

Ok So you are still triggered by the state mandated trainings there is a whole thread on that you can continue being mad on.

No the state mandated training is fine. London and Richmond knocked them out in three days.

Reid turning a state mandated training into seven days off for teachers by reducing the number of snow days…and now realizing she might actually need those snow days for snow…that’s just comedy. The fact that she also went on record saying how inequitable virtual learning on snow days would be is icing on the cake.

This wasn’t a difficult decision. VDOE doesn’t count online learning on snow days, so why would FCPS do it?

Is it 7 days?
If they are doing trainings, why do you say it is “seven days off for teachers”?

It’s seven days without meaningful instruction/classroom time.

The rest of the state did it in three days. FCPS was the only place that needed seven. Which again is only funny in this context because **obviously** we didn’t need snow days….oops.

Ok laugh and enjoy your comedy..... but trust me in this rich entitled county no one is going to school in July...sorry Mom. The parents have already planned their big European vacations and that is truth.

Are you drunk? Elementary teachers have 7 EARLY RELEASE days to do the state-mandated trainings. That means that students are in school and are released three hours early. No one traded snow days for teachers to be off.

Also, virtual learning on snow days is a waste of time. The state won’t give credit for it as an actual school day, so why bother?

Please stop drinking or just being stupid.

What is mad mommy? Is this sarcasm?

I was told that there used to be 13 snow days but now it is 10 because of those elem half days. I heard from a friend who heard from a friend so who knows if it is truth.

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

Exactly. One year my child was the ONLY kid at her bus stop. The way neighborhoods turn over, varying density etc. works it's obvious. And if you've ever been stuck behind a school bus on Georgetown Pike, you'll see it stop more than a few times for a single child.

And the majority of special-needs students are picked up outside their house. That’s 1 child per bus stop.

“The three-hour early release will not impact the state-mandated number of instructional hours, but it will reduce the amount of built in snow days.”

They traded snow days for teachers to have seven half days without teaching.

Instead of doing it in three days like the rest of the state. I don’t know how to make it more clear that this was a trade off Reid made to make teachers happy (at the expense of parents) assuming she wouldn’t need to use the snow days.
