[quote=Anonymous]I think MCPS is going to have far more of these kids on their hands than they think.  This schedule change is absurd.  I was already not getting to work downtown until 10am and we have a Tier 1 school.  Tier 2 will not start until 9:25 this year.  Ludicrously ignorant of parents needs.

My 5th grader will be walking because I would need to off by 8:20 to get my other kid to school on time.   Otherwise, I'd have to double back.  We don't get a bus (even though at other ESs, I have seen children that live closer and with safer sidewalks to their school get picked up by a bus).

And I fully expect you'll get called out by the school for early drop off because of the liability issues.  First thing I'd check though, is if all of the property surrounding your school is MCPS property or is part of it Parks and Planning property.  Your child can wait in a Park-operated land without MCPS being able to do anything about it.  Many MCPS properties adjoin such land. Ours does.[/quote]
