And that means they'll find subs for the bus drivers.  They have them across the board - in both professional and supporting services. [b] They won't call off the day. [/b] They said today on the news that MCPS was open.  It's doubtful - VERY doubtful - they'll close. It's easier to babysit combined classes than to inconvenience parents.  The day will be lost.  Kids will skip.  But it will be called an instructional day nonetheless.[/quote]

They have called off the day.

Wednesday, March 8, 2017 - Schools are closed for students, due to "A Day Without a Woman" related demonstrations. All employees are expected to report for work or follow the normal procedures for leave requests.

[i]As you may be aware, organizers of the Women’s March on Washington have called for “A Day Without a Woman,” a one-day demonstration on International Women’s Day (Wednesday, March 8) to include taking the day off work.

Throughout Prince George’s County Public Schools, a high number of school-based and support staff have requested leave for tomorrow, which would compromise our ability to transport students and provide safe, productive learning environments. As a result, schools will be closed Wednesday, March 8 for students. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause. Please note that our leave requests significantly increased today, leading to this decision.

Based on our policies, PGCPS and the Prince George’s County Board of Education have no political stance on “A Day Without a Woman.” Schools will open Thursday, March 9 on a normal schedule.

Sincerely,

Kevin M. Maxwell, Ph.D.
Chief Executive Officer
Prince George’s County Public Schools[/i][/quote]

What demonstration? This looks like a Day Without Work to me. Way to solidify your reputation as never having to be asked twice to close, PGCPS.

Signed, 
PG resident with kids in private schools that are open tomorrow
