[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mcps can make the call on when facility can be open or not. Just because they have de iced and custodian can "turn on lights" doesn't mean there will be humans there to watch your kids[/quote]

Thanks, we trust the providers to make that call. Does MCPS not?[/quote]

They use MCPS facility. What are you not understanding, my f jeesuz.[/quote]

Do you not understand the difference between landlords and tenants?  Do you seriously think it is a landlord's role to say "hmm, I think some of my tenants might not be able to get enough staff to come in today and might have to choose to stay closed, so I guess I will prohibit any of my tenants from having the choice to open in the first place?"

(Leaving aside the fact that there is exactly zero evidence of any staffing challenges in the first place.) [/quote]

This isn't like a building owner telling a store that they can't open.  The terms of usage of the MCPS buildings and the potential scheduling liabilities are disclosed to the providers and shared with the clients.  You don't have to think they are right or to like them in order to understand that those are the rules of engagement.[/quote]

The issue isn't whether or not MCPS *can* prevent child care providers from opening. It is whether or not they *should.*

MCPS is publicly accountable (or should be, at least) as a taxpayer-funded government program. We can and should expect them to make sensible decisions.

Ad you said, they're not just a typical landlord here.[/quote]
