[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools need to be closed for all of next week.

Sidewalks not touched
Bus stops are mounds of ice with no place for kids to safely stand 
Neighbor hood roads are not plowed full width. Buses won’t be able to maneuver along some of them.

One of our neighborhood street isn’t plowed still. [/quote]

It will drive many families crazy if no school at all for the next week. All other offices and stores in the county are opened, except mcps. [/quote]

It’s called knowing your neighborhoods. MoCo knows the clearing schedule and can coordinate with MCPS to offer alternative safe pickup spots. For those kids absolutely snowed in or where it’s still unsafe, then virtual is the answer.

MCPS can’t remain closed just because there are a small number of streets that still have issues. If private schools are open, MCPS should be open.  MoCo has far more snow and ice clearing assets than any private school. [/quote]

DP.  I’m still pretty skeptical about buses getting around, but we’ll see how the next few days go.  The issue is the narrow paths on some of the bus routes here in DTSS.

And I get it— this second week is concerning.  I am home with my kids and have full flexibility but they would benefit from the routine next week.  It is just really, really bad still in this part of the county.  And its not just one issue, it’s many: the extent to which parking lots have been cleared, the lack of clear bus routes, the disappearance of bus stops, the lack of space that isn’t in the middle of already narrow streets to walk.

What is already open at this stage in the storm is highly variable.  Local colleges are still closed, which is unusual.  It’s not like everything is running business as usual (yet).[/quote]
