[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there will be school tomorrow with a 2 hour delay to make sure everything around the school buildings is cleared.[/quote]

My street still hasn’t been plowed. I bet they cancel Wednesday too.

Back in 2022 we had the same amount of snow and they closed for a week[/quote]

That was because they couldn’t get teachers to show up post covid.  They were barely able to get enough teachers to show up with no snow.  I remember that Friday they said they were opening and then had to rescind and close due to staffing issues.[/quote]

Okay? Many teachers live in Fairfax. It’s a mess over there. [/quote]

Yet so many other workers are managing to get to their jobs TODAY!!!  [/quote]

they probably don't take a school bus to school. [/quote]

Seriously? Do you know how many of my kids' parents took a public bus to get to work today? Their kids can get to school and so can the teachers.[/quote]

Public buses run on main roads. School buses go all over on neighborhood streets. Big difference. [/quote]

The County prioritizes school bus routes and they are nearly all cleared as of late this morning.  Keep all your fingers and toes crossed it works out though and you can stay in your PJs another day.

We'll see. There's also the issue of sidewalks and bus stops being clear so kids can walk safely to schools and stops without walking or standing in the road. I don't think there's any way APS opens on time tomorrow. Maybe a 2 hour delay. [/quote]
