[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the schools are heated and over 50% of the buses run, then schools should be open.  If you kid's bus doesn't run and school is open, then either your kid gets a day off or you find or your kid finds another way to get to school.  Good that you are thinking about this now so you have time to plan for the contingency.[/quote]

Are you on the school board? Are you the new superintendent?

That's not FCPS policy. If you're in charge, then you can change the policy.[/quote]

In the original post, OP did not ask what policy is. He or she asked whether schools should close because it's cold. It's an opinion question. The above is one opinion. What's yours?[/quote]

My opinion is, in the past 7 years (since DS was in preschool and when I noticed these things), they've closed once or twice purely for cold temperatures and once or twice because the buses wouldn't start.  They've also closed because of ice, which can be only a localized problem that makes lots of people irrationally angry.  IOW, I'm fine with the current policy, which is to only close when it seems like a good idea.[/quote]
