[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Today's closure is about the cold, not the roads.  Making sure they have time to get the buses all started and working.  Minimizing the amount of time that kids are standing in dangerously frigid weather waiting for buses.

School systems did the same thing last year once or twice, if I recall correctly.[/quote]

My MoCo co-workers, who continually shake their heads at the idiocy of FCPS policy, said their buses were fine this morning. Psst, FCPS--this is NORTH of you. The cold snap was not a surprise in the least. Start the buses at 3 a.m. if you have to. There's absolutely no excuse for this late-breaking closure.[/quote]

OK hostile parent pretending to know WTF you are talking about?! I lived in Montgomery county not long ago and there were plenty of issues with buses having trouble starting in extreme cold and kids being stuck at bus-stops for as much as an hour or more.

Suggestion...cut down on the coffee, eat a piece of chocolate, have some wine this evening (not WHINE) and chill (he he pun intended).[/quote]

You do understand that there is nothing magical about the buses in Fairfax or MOCO, right?  Buses all across the county somehow manage to run in much colder temps.  This is either a maintenance issue or simply a failure to plan.[/quote]
