[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bus drivers are to report 30 minutes early and monitor local news channels and radio as FCPS will reassess in the morning.[/quote]
Why? What will change at 5:30? it will still be 16 (feels like 1).[/quote]

The condition of the roads come the morning will be assessed. The ability of the busses to actually get turned on will be assessed.

Growing up, they almost always waited for the morning and drove a few representative bus runs around 4:30am to gauge actual morning conditions. Then, they decided if it was going to be safe to put buses on those roads or if they had to delay or cancel. Why would they make a call tonight instead of waiting to see the conditions the busses will actually face?

It sucks for dual working homes but being able to pivot as needed to care for your kids comes with being a parent. I've already sent emails to key people reminding them I may have to make last minute changes to my day tomorrow because of the chance of a delay.[/quote]
This makes sense, but growing up, we didn't have the technology that we have today, which can help us to assess the situation earlier.
In this way, she (Michelle Reid) is torturing parents. This is not OK.[/quote]
