[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good. Sucks for parts but good call. Many streets haven't even see a plow, too cold to move snow and I bet many teachers are bonding out yet. Many school lots (from friends pictures) are not clean either. [/quote]

Many lots are cleared and they could let the child care providers decide if they could open in those cases but MCPS doesn't care[/quote]

This. Super frustrating for parents who need daycare to force KAH (and other providers) to close down. [/quote]

You do understand that one reason the schools continue to be closed is that the lots have not been plowed, right? It’s not snow at this point. It’s solid ice that weighs as much as concrete.

Childcare staff and parents would be in the way of the people trying to clear the lots. I can’t get off my street yet, so it’s likely others (childcare providers) are in a similar situation. It is what it is.[/quote]

Do you think we're idiots?  The schools with unplowed lots should not be open and of course would not be open if MCPS lifted the "all childcare must stay closed" bam.  Likewise, the childcare programs who don't have enough staff who can safely travel to work at them should not and would not be open.  No one is asking for any of that.  We are just saying that the programs at schools where the lots *are*, clear and staff *can* get to work should be allowed to open, at least on Thursday.

(And to be clear, our school is one of the ones that's unplowed so ours would be closed regardless and that's fine!  But I don't want other working parents to struggle just because I am.  And I want to go back to the days where MCPS at least pretended to trust their on-site providers to make their own decisions, and to care about the working parents and child care workers who lose out when they don't.)
