[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this latter point -- how quickly/easily the county decides to close schools -- is what annoys so many of us.  They close schools and administrative offices without any real intent to make them up, they will just file a waiver and I suspect they would file a waiver if the schools had been closed for 30 days as opposed to 10.

If you are referring to 06:03's point, I think he/she was referring to the period in the 90s when they had this split system.

Today, people criticize MCPS for waiting until 5:00 AM to make a decision. For example, Fairfax announces the night before, often before it has even snowed. I think today's approach in MCPS is much more conservative with regard to "let's see what's really going to happen." I prefer the 5:00 AM decision. It isn't ideal, but they are using the most data available to make the decision, rather than conjecture.

But I agree with you that I'm not a fan of having a contingency plan in place with no real expectation of implementing it.
