[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not only did hundreds of Deal students not have any public transportation options to get to school, but they also had a school where the heat was out, per an email from the principal. And my kid messaged me via their laptop to say none of their teachers were there and that half their classes were more or less unsupervised.[/quote]

WMATA restored service to the dedicated Deal routes as the day went on. Deal is walking distance from Tenleytown metro. Even if it wasn’t the typical way to travel to school, Deal students had options to get to school safely (bus from home to metro, metro to tenleytown). Then the regular routes were restored by end of the day.

No heat is a different problem, one that DGS will need to fix ASAP. Regarding subs, sounds like Deal should have made better arrangements. Administration knew which teachers would be out before classes started. I’d also question what “none of his teachers” and “more or less unsupervised” actually means.

But Deal’s issues aren’t a reason to close the whole district. [/quote]
