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.

Uh, that was Scott Brabrand, not Reid.

No. You do?

IIRC Northam shut everything down by EO, but PP also seems to remember Reid, who was in WA state at the time, being superintendent

Damn, how many times are you going to post this same drivel? Give it up. You sound unhinged.

Most people were? Most people have jobs.

+1 Most people took vacations in the last two weeks during the planned winter break already and are trying to get back to work.

Most? You keep tabs on 180K students?

Somebody has to do it. After 4 days, you really think people were going to care what decision was made. No meaningful education will take place anyway.

Maybe Reid did the same thing to her school system in Seattle on the same day Brabrand did it here?

Bus drivers might call off

💯. 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.

Most of 22101 is a mess. Too bad FCPS can’t close by regions.

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!

What’s a “CYA” move?

I guess everyone is in bed now in anticipation of back to school?!

Nah. Not in bed. I have to take off of work entirely in order to manage the two hour delay and all the drop offs. My kids are walkers and it’s not safe. My sophomore has 4 AP classes and I have no doubt they will PILE on the work. They were already supposed to have a midnight assignment for Friday (also the Friday night through Sunday night assignments are gross and need to stop).

What 4 AP classes is your sophomore taking? Our HS counselor told us 10th graders can only take AP World.

FCPS doesn’t need to keep the economy moving. Sounds like you could have used a few less snow days when you were in school!!! But those of us who didn’t have mommy and daddy buy our houses for us actually work for a living. And are expected to show up. We can’t live in this “I’m afraid to go pick up my instacart order from the front porch because it might be slick”.

But at least if you fall, it can’t hurt but so bad being that soft.

It's literally one day, stop dramatizing this We all have to work for a living and those of us who do are having issues needing to coordinate changed school schedules and drop offs pick ups we didn't plan on having adjusted to a week of snowdays already.
