The people who won’t accept it don’t care what the safest choice is. They are willing to accept a larger amount of risk so they don’t disappoint their employer or lose income. These are valid and legitimate priorities for those individuals, but unfortunately for them, the priority of safety of students and staff and operational considerations like do buildings have heat and running water are higher priorities for the school district.

I haven't seen many people in this thread complaining about schools being closed. However, opening the admin offices and letting childcare providers open does not require busses.

What happens when the child care staff cannot get to work?

Why do people keep acting like this is any of MCPS's business? Do other landlords lock their tenants out of buildings because they speculate that their tenants might not have enough staff to open?

(The answer, of course, is that if a child care program doesn't have enough staff who can get to work, they don't open-- or if they only have enough staff to operate at reduced capacity, they operate at reduced capacity and don't take drop-in kids. Just like they always did in the past. But again, none of your or MCPS's business.)

The PPs are just trolling to distract from MCPS's incompetence

Many lots and streets are cleared. The providers always have the option to not open. MCPS has not given them that option. This has been explained as nauseum on these threads. It's clear Thomas just wants to give his people a bunch of free days off. Montgomery County Government is open today. Not even liberal leave. This is embarrassing for MCPS.

Most public schools in the DMV are closed. Its just a few days. Its not the end of the world. Get a grip.

Nobody is saying it is the end of the world. We are saying we are missing work and income so Thomas Taylor can curry favor with a bunch of overpaid bureaucrats.

If most schools are closed in the DMV how can you blame or single out Taylor and MCPS?

Because as far as I know, MCPS is the only one forcing on-site private child care providers to stay closed through Thursday (and probably Friday.)

It's not just about the buses.

Our school's parking lot is clear. Office staff live in the neighborhood which is all passable. Child care provider is not being given the option to find out if their staff can make it in to open/determine how many kids they can serve.

Get the staffs number and offer an uber and high pay to work at your house.

Are you the guy that anonymously posted his number here and flipped out when nobody had called him within 5 minutes to have him watch their kids?

No, but since you aren’t working maybe you can help others.

Many of us are going without in one this week and as an added bonus during the government shutdowns. Stop using us as talking points. Buildings opened today and our road is barely passable but my spouse felt forced to go in. I’d rather be safe and no income for another day.

I literally said “the people who won’t accept it” referring to people who will be unhappy about the closure tomorrow and a potential closure Friday regardless of the as yet unknown condition of the roads, school properties and sidewalks. You are not one of those people, obviously, so it does not refer to you, and you are not being used as a “talking point.”

They aren't going to open on Friday

You get a grip. Many of these child care workers have multiple jobs and may not be available. Clearly if you have time to post here you can care for your kids.

Read their emergency message today..they are already hinting at a closure on Monday. No way they will open on Friday.

Can you quote this? I didn't see anything that referenced Monday.

They did not use the word "Monday" but they said parents should prepare for an "extended closure" and referenced the possibility of snow over the weekend.

Then you haven't done much research. SACC is closed in FCPS, even though their central office is open.

I have been shoveling the parking lot at the elementary school in my neighborhood for the last two hours and kind of surprised there is no building services employee on site

I got curious and drove the bus routes for my school. There is going to have to be a lot of work done to clear these bus stops if we want to open this week. Can’t imagine its a good look to have half a dozen kids standing atop a 4 foot ice wall waiting for a bus at 7 am

The threat of snow over the weekend has all but disappeared. Even the GFS, which was the one remaining model forecasting significant snowfall, is starting to cave to the Euro. If MCPS can't open by Monday, it's such a miserable failure of the entire school system.

You've gotta be kidding me. A snowfall measured in tenths of inches. Grow up or move south.
