To announce they're opening on-time?

+1 on-time

We’ll be lucky if it is just a delay. I think they won’t open at all.

Agree. Likely closed for one more day.

Highly unlikely. Taylor got a lot of flack today for closing. With the county being done with the roads they're responsible for, it would be hard to justify another closure.

Who is he getting flack from?

You're kidding.

No one blamed him for Monday or Tuesday, but MCPS building services were out working on Monday and Tuesday to open schools. And he didn't. Not even on a delay. Not even child care programs. He absolutely got flack.

And now he's going to need to add a make-up day, something he probably never experienced in his old job. I'm sure people have been telling him what a mess that is going to be.

ES parents I know are upset about it being code red. Fine if schools have to close for students/teachers, but they should be open for the aftercare providers to be able to offer services. There is really no justification for them being closed today, other than wanting to give administrators time off.

We need school webcams. I bet that would deal with the stragglers real fast!

It is appalling that any schools are still unplowed at this point

After two days of early calls I'm irritated that we don't know as of 6pm. What is there to still decide?

[Anonymous]

seriously. Temps are still below freezing. Just call the closure.

There is a reason….no safe place to park if the lots aren’t cleared yet. Can’t clear the lots if they have cars on them.

How does the temperature being below freezing justify a closure?

Let the schools with cleared lots open then. The other schools will only make that mistake once.
