“ Put simply, we think most schools in the region will close. Although precipitation should end early enough for crews to start treating primary roads early Tuesday morning, it’s improbable that they’ll reach secondary and side roads in time to make them safe and passable for the morning commute. At least a delay is pretty much inevitable for all school systems, but closings seem to be the most likely outcome.”
“ D.C. Public Schools is the wild card. Historically, the bar has been much higher for its schools to close, because many students walk or take public transit rather than drive. That said, the school system has closed for less snow than it used to in recent years. We lean toward a delay for DCPS but wouldn’t be surprised if it shut down for the day.”

My own take: Whether your particular private school follows a public system or makes its own decisions may make the difference in whether you see a delay or closure. Private schools also definitely take into consideration the fact that their students and teachers are coming in from a wide area, which makes some more conservative in their decisions. That paired with the fact that many just move to online school for the day rather than close—online may be very likely tomorrow for the schools that do have that choice. [/quote]
