| I think we’re screwed. Make your snow day plans now. |

| FCPS has some of the craziest parents (evidence: this thread being 66 pages long) so maybe this culture you guys have contributed to is part of why she’s so gunshy about making any kind of decision |

They're encouraging walkers at our school to use kiss and ride which is fine for drop off but is going to be a mess for pickup. A lot of walker's parents drive and park on the roads surrounding the school but those roads are all scarcely one lane so theres nowhere for anyone to park. We have about 350 kids who walk or do kiss and ride. Good luck fitting them all at kiss and ride...
The buses also wont be able to turn to get into the school road. It's at the top of a hill and needs more than the kind of 1 lane plowed to be able to turn. We're in eastern FCPS, I can only imagine other schools will be so much worse. |

I am sure that's right, and then nothing will change with the weather/conditions but we'll be back with a two hour delay on Tuesday. It makes no sense but it is what it is. |

| The fact that FCPS is last to announce and much later than everyone else is so sad. This is the problem with FCPS. Make a decision with reason and stick by it. We have the biggest school system and the most incompetent leaders who are scared to make mistakes. |

I think they’ll close, but they haven’t announced yet, so it’s still up in the air! |

political cover needed. It is truly sad. What has changed in the last 2 hours from Thursday, Friday, Saturday? |

Dramatic much? It’s 4:38pm, not 4:38am. You’ll get your answer shortly. Calm down. |

The pattern I’m getting is the districts with denser urban neighborhoods with tight streets (Alexandria, Arlington) need to stay closed. Loudoun isn’t as densely packed with those residential side parking streets so it has the leeway to open late. MCPS generally seems close-inclined as they were the ones to call a full week close first starting on Monday. FCPS falls right in the middle of all these considerations so now I think it’ll be a close instead of a delay. |

Guys, everyone knows what the issues are. We don't need all of your anecdotes about you getting your kid to your school. We know. It's icy and there's a lot of snow banks piled up. WE KNOW. But that isn't changing anytime soon. So the issue is, do we get the kids back to school or not? What day it happens this week is going to make ZERO difference, these conditions are not getting significantly better. The schools in the area have decided to have another day off to pretend to make any dent in these conditions, which they won't actually be able to do, and they'll all be back after a delay on Tuesday. And getting to school Tuesday will look nearly identical to what getting to school tomorrow would have looked like. |

The people at the top of the education food chain are usually less intelligent and innovative than the people who work for them. |
