[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm getting stir crazy at home.  Keeping fingers crossed for tomorrow![/quote]

Agree with others that it isn’t going to happen. Let go of the hope and start planning other things. County facilities are opening today (libraries, rec centers, the pool at long bridge) and friends are probably available for playdates. Yes, it seems like we should be able to figure out a way to have school after 3 days off, but we won’t. Let go of “should” and accept what is. [/quote]

Always been like this.

The County busts ass to get things cleared with 24-7 crews and APS maybe shows up at some point and sorts their shi* out.  Zero urgency.  County posted that school routes were 95 percent passable on instagram 21 hours ago.  So yes I'm sure they are all passable today and with certainty tomorrow.  And yes before people chime in, we know all owners did not clear sidewalks and there are piles of snow where the pumpkins usually stand to wait for the bus.  That will all be the case on Monday morning too.  Those are things we should be able to work with.[/quote]
Why doesn’t the county help the schools more? There’s a weird separation there [/quote]

separate entities, separate budgets, separate administration, etc

I'm sure they have agreed upon and formalized separation of who does what and county does their part fast and APS does their part slow.  It costs an insane amount of money to clean up after these storms so no one is going to casually say oh i'll do that for you.[/quote]

It is weird how the county just pretends like it has nothing to do with the schools even though they are obviously very interconnected. [/quote]

Who is pretending that?  They have a working relationship and one partner handles their business better on this issue.  What do you do at work when someone you work with sucks at their job?  You do all their work for them?
