[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, of course all of the schools will be closed tomorrow.

Our students will continue to experience lack of educational continuity and academic disruption, and continue to fall ever-so-slowly behind their school counterparts in regions where snow days are few - either because those regions invest in the equipment, resources, and workforce to deal with an inhospitable winter climate (MN, WI), or because they have great weather (CA).

By the way, our regional failure to develop the resources, invest in the equipment, and hire the personnel necessary to deal with a winter climate, has the potential to depress economic growth in the region.  [/quote]

Please run for something.  If this was the entirety of your platform, I'd happily be your campaign manager.  The annual DMV snowpocalypse isn't funny anymore.  It's embarrassing and hugely damaging.[/quote]

It is just a few days, people.  The county builds in 4 snow days, as do most private schools who choose to follow MoCo.  We are going to run 2-3 over this year in MoCo - FCPS is still under.  Private schools in MoCo I believe have to hold 170 days of school, and they will add more in if we fall short.  We have  many school years where we do not use all of our snow days, and we don't see any major educational boon to our students.  It does not make sense to invest the economics into more weather clearing equipment until we hit a point when we consistently see this many snow days EVERY year.  Frankly, it is more cost effective for us to build in more snow days.  [/quote]
