[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just drove by seven locks es and the student drop off lot is still untouched. Can other people report what they're seeing at their local schools here? Yesterday it mentioned only 30 percent of schools were done. Like WHAT?![/quote]

Maybe it's time for community to come to the rescue.  If one parent of every enrolled child at a school showed up with their ice pick and snow shovel, the parking lots and sidewalks of all schools could be completed in a few hours.  Yes, some families have 2 kids enrolled at a school and an infant at home so only 1 parent for 2 students could show up.  And yes, there are single parent households with kids in both ES and MS so they shouldn't have to shovel 2x.  And I'm sure there are families with multiple children and one parent who has to go to work and cannot help.

My point is, maybe the parents who want kids back in school need to take control.  Volunteers could get this done quickly.  Many hands makes light work.[/quote]

That's not the issue.  MCPS could easily finish clearing the remaining schools if it directed its operations staff to do so.

The issue is that some people want the snow gone.  They don't want to walk on sidewalks that still have some snow on them.  They don't want to have to walk around or over mounds of snow blocking sidewalks or bus stops.  Those aren't realistic expectations.  These people just want schools closed.[/quote]
