[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is now in the text of MCPS's official "code yellow" delayed opening policy (the only delayed opening option), so it looks like that is what needs to be amended:

"CODE YELLOW - DELAYED OPENING
Schools and offices will open two hours late.
Emergency personnel report should report as directed.
Morning bus routes will operate on a two-hour delay.
All field trips and activities that begin at 10:30 AM or earlier are canceled, including programs at Thomas Edison High School of Technology.
Infant and Toddler appointments scheduled before 10 AM are canceled; appointments scheduled at 10 AM or later will continue as planned.
Morning PreK/Head Start and AM PreK Special Education programs are canceled.
[b]Morning childcare is canceled.[/b]
All-day childcare programs will operate on a two hour delay.
Afternoon PreK/Head Start and PM PreK Special Education programs will begin at their regular time.
Schools will dismiss at their normal time.
After-school childcare programs will operate as scheduled.
Community Use programs occur as scheduled"

In the email they sent us literally yesterday (https://ww2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/publicinfo/community/school-year-2025-2026/Community-Message-20251201.html), it said Code Yellow (delayed opening) means before, afterschool, and child care may operate as scheduled.  Now today the website says something totally different about beforecare being closed on delayed opening days.

MCPS is a mess.  An infuriating mess.

Yeah, whatever your opinion is of the decision, the communication on it is an objective f**kup.[/quote]
