[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just saw Doug Kammerer's weather report (local weather reporter) and he says 3 lines of storms around 11, 1, 7. 1 is the time to watch for tornadoes. Right during the 3 hour early release. 
It was a hard call for FCPS, but looks like kids would be safer at school til the normal release time. [/quote]

Yes kids would be safer in schools than on busses than in cars/walking outdoors.

But this isn’t about students safety, it’s about giving teachers more PTO.[/quote]

Meanwhile, in the real world, OPM has told federal workers to leave by 2 p.m. today.  Almost every district in the DMV and Baltimore area has an early release.  There is also an active tornado watch and severe thunderstorm warning for the area.  But yes, FCPS having an early release today is clearly about giving teachers some extra time off.   :roll: [/quote]

ABSOLUTELY NO ONE has said.  We have complained about the cumulative effect of all the other days off. So stop the gaslighting [/quote]

Not true. I am in fact, the poster who said it was about giving teachers time to get home. Because that is what I was told and I still believe it is true. Absolutely none of this was about keeping students safe— LCPS stayed open with no issues even with the tornado warning. It can be done![/quote]

Way too early to say that LCPS has had no issues. [/quote]

Mother of a LCPS middle schooler here. My child spent a substantial period of their day on the floor with their head down by the interior locker bays as the school got a tornado alert. I’m not aware of any academic instruction that took place during this time LOL.

So yes, safe to say there was “issues”. [/quote]
