Most of McPS comms are terrible. This one at least was clear and without grammatical error.

Nope, there was an obvious grammar error.

This!

+1. I was very critical in the other thread, and I hope there's some learning that comes from this, both in terms of how and when decisions are made and how decisions are communicated, but this is the right call. I'm glad they made it.

They didn't even apologize in their message. More signs they are not just incompetent, but also entitled and self-absorbed.

Still shaking your little fists but actually doing nothing.

I do seem to be triggering you which is fun

What do you want MCPS to apologize for?

Don't worry, lots of people will be explaining this to them

I'm sure everyone at central office is telling each other this..none of you folks bothered to look around and notice no other employer besides schools had so much as a delay this week. You all wanted to party and sleep in instead of even just letting the child care providers open. You deserve all the heat you get.

“You folks” “you all” “you deserve”. Who do you think I am? Taylor? Lol

I’m just a parent who calls it how I see it.

Ps: tell me where this party is ‘ cause I would love to party!

This is an anonymous board. Did you not know that?

Agree. They messed up so bad yesterday, most high schools canceled sports practices that didn’t need to be and teens were already going home before MCPS changed the error.

Whoever decides who writes, edits, and submits these notifications needs to be fired.

Wrong. Take back your words from MAGA.

How do you “take back” random capitalizations that were never a thing before?

By being intelligent enough to see that just because capitalizations have been used by a loathsome man, they're are not contaminated. It's just words. Take them in the spirit they're meant, instead of always nitpicking MCPS. For once, they made the right decision. Why can't you just be glad?!?!

MCPS can't win with you people. You're just nasty and exhausting.

No, MCPS staff that post here claiming MCPS is "free", constantly bash parents and refuse to apologize for their blatant incompetence are nasty and exhausting.

Not MCPS staff. Parents like me. I send my oldest to an 85K a year university, after years in MCPS. The fact it's payed for by taxes, and not anything on top of that, allowed me to save enough to send my kids to any college they want.

And for a public school system, MCPS is GREAT. I know. I've experienced others that were completely crappy. I've also experience privates that were worse than MCPS, and privates that were better but not worth their high price tag.

So this parent will defend MCPS when appropriate (not for Beidleman-type stuff, that was awful).

Ugh I switched a dentist appointment to tomorrow morning for my middle schooler. MCPS is so frustrating.

MCPS literally stopped teaching kids how to read for a few years. I guess if other school systems are terrible, MCPS can be too?

Yep

By the way, nobody has found an explanation for why they made childcare providers open late (and close for three days during the last snowstorm).

[Anonymous]

I don't think they should have changed the plans after already announcing them. Many people made back up child care plans, etc. It just makes them look bad.

Not a good look for the district.

MCPS definitely got chewed out for the three days of two-hour delays. It was OVERLY cautious. Tuesday was understandable. Wednesday was questionable, but extending it to Thursday was always absurd.

Yeah. This was a big tell that MCPS was foolish to ignore.
