Either the 2hr delay or the closure was appropriate, but the important part thing was to announce yesterday, not late this morning when plans have to be changed.

Aside from the other school systems that are closed, of course.

Also aside from the sidewalks that are not clear.

It's been a full day since the snow stopped. How are they that incompetent?

They called it at 7:34 am. High school on a 2-hour delay starts at 9:45 am. Nobody was on a bus or walking to school yet. (My high school senior is going back to bed.)

That’s still too late for those of us with a long drive.

You have a 2 hr 10 minute drive to school !

Read?

Again, the roads are fine. Why close schools? They can plenty of time to clear sidewalks around the schools.

Our neighborhood is pure ice.

The important thing is that no matter when MCPS announces, or what MCPS announces, it's wrong.

Just one more thing to complain about! I mean even if they'd done it early I know I'd complain.

Who should do this? The weather?

They are going to claw back some spring break days

I doubt that. But even if so, drive slowly until you get on a main road. It's not that hard.

Workd does not revolve around you. Turn around and get your kid home to your toasty house.
