Sounds like it was a miscommunication. KAH initially said they were opening at 9am, but now they are not opening in the morning.

High schools can open at 9:45 but working parents of ES students are SOL until 11am or later.

Definitely a big fat middle finger to working parents.

I would argue that it is you that is hellbent on giving someone the finger rather than the school system taking precautions to protect children. Do you have fat fingers?

So you think high school kids can go to school, but parents can't drop their kids off at before care? How does that make sense other than Taylor hating working parents?

Try working on changing to swap ES and HS start times.

This. High school students have been begging for a later start time

DCPS has all schools start at 8.30 am. Elementary, middle and high school. That would be great. Such a normal time

Apples and oranges. DCPS doesn't provide transportation. I doubt that's an approach that MCPS families would welcome.

That's completely irrelevant to Taylor's choice to prevent private childcare providers from opening at all this morning.

You have to be smarter than this. Comparing a system that doesn’t provide buses to a system that has 60K more students and spans a geographic area that is 9 times bigger is ridiculous.

Again, it is clear Taylor is hostile to families with two working parents.

Maybe, just maybe, it isn’t all about you???? maybe the decision was made to consider the safety of the people who have to arrive at the buildings first in order to clear the sidewalks.

If high school workers can arrive for a ~9:30 start, why can't elementary school workers arrive to let child care open at 9:30?

There's no ice on the sidewalks in our neighborhood. This really doesn't need to be a systemwide decision.

Our shrubbery and railings are lined with icicles. Looks like Xmas decorations there are so many. I could also hear the sleet coming down at night and early morning. It was a good call to delay.

This is always a systemwide decision.

I would have loved it if they had delayed before care providers for 2 hours or even if they had allowed them to open at the same time as high schools are opening. Instead they prohibited them from opening at all.

Is there ice anywhere? It's too warm.

They can make a systemwide decision to let providers decide if they can open.
