Snow day

[Anonymous]

The bus drivers are in a terrible position. So many routes are ICE. Not snow-ICE. The fedex truck got stuck on my street this afternoon in Burke on the ice. It’s going to be a mess. I can’t even think of the walkers who have to walk on a busy road to get to school. It’s so dangerous. Completely unsafe. I’m horrified FCPS made this decision. Any parent or decision maker who isn’t worried about the kids is not thinking clearly. The risk is way too high here.

So in theory it went out only to those affected. But in the FB group a bus driver who services these stops didn’t even get the info. Who can really say who’s getting it.

Oh and I’m not sure if PP was talking ab this same one, but I’m in the FCPS staff FB group and that’s where I’m seeing drivers complain.

Then stay home. Your horror solved.

I actually hope teachers call out tomorrow and they are stuck with a bunch of subs or having to pool kids on the gym due to lack of subs. Reid made a very poor decision and I’d love to see her ass get handed to her.

That’s not equitable.

It’s possible they will pivot to closed in the am.

Send angry emails to Reid - maybe that will work.

Remember the Thursday night before the Covid shutdown happened when she said schools would be be open on Friday? She pivoted overnight and schools were closed that Friday.

A 2 hour delay also moves the decision time from 4am to 6am or something like that. I'm fully expecting a text around 5:45 am saying based in the conditions on the ground in the morning, they have to close schools. They made a good show of trying their best by relocating bus stops from the iciest roads as a CYA move for those who say they aren't trying hard enough but I don't know if it will be enough.

This. I still stand by my prediction - in all caps - NO SCHOOL THIS ENTIRE WEEK!
Setting alarm for 5:45!

💯. There will be multiple accidents.

The poor bus drivers….I was skidding in our neighborhood going 5 mph in an SUV. I cannot imagine how the bus will navigate.

Your neighborhood is an outlier at this point.

not pp. it’s not just one neighborhood

Um, bad news but Reid wasn’t superintendent at the time.

No. You do?

I invite Dr Reid and any member of the school board to come drive Barbee Rd to El Nido. Perhaps they could strap chains to the bus tires.

Most people were? Most people have jobs.
