Will schools be open tomorrow the 8th?

Do parents and staff email the Mayor for stuff like this? I'm coming from MCPS and all of the parents would have been writing board members like crazy right now...since we don't have a school board, I was wondering if the same goes on here but with Bowser.

Normal opening. Your wish is my command.

Have fun with all the substitutes in your kids’ schools.

Thus *could* be changed to a 2 hour delay tomorrow morning given that it’s going to be cold overnight, so check the news in the am

Students will be delayed, teachers will be delayed. Skeleton crew in many schools.

There is no downside to a delay if the goal is to get everyone to school safely.

What a joke. There is clearly no concern for student or staff safety. They just want to provide food to say they can (that the students just throw away anyway). Just...WOW.

Yeah, none of my DCPS teacher friends are going in tomorrow since their kids don’t have school (Moco).

Teachers, for the most part, don't live in the district. Moron.

There is literally no downside to delaying opening. Students will trickle in all morning, some won't show up. Many teachers with kids outside of DC will call out. In most schools it will be a day of daycare. And that's ok if it's important to you.

Every city, state, county, district struggles to clear snow and cancels/delays school. My middle state friends are going on snow day 3 tomorrow and their city is much more prepared for the 9” they got on SUNDAY.

Anyone who acts like “we walked in 6’ of snow when we were your age” is believing a false narrative. Kids will be okay missing another day of school. We have so many resources at our fingertips for instruction if that’s your worry (IXL….the INTERNET). If you have young ones and you need to work, you darn well should have thunk about contingency plans when having kids because LIFE.

I don’t know what middle state you are from, but no, we *never* closed like this. It literally didn’t snow today. There was ample time for everything to be plowed and salted.
