[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I bet she thinks her waiting seems like she's not jumping the gun like "every other school district in the surrounding area," and instead it's making her look irresponsible as hell.[/quote]

I'm far from a Bowser fan, but this type of a decision is truly a no-win for her. Whatever option she chooses (cancel, delay, open) will be criticized, as will the time it takes her to make the decision. DC also has to think about a lot of things -- namely, that a large portion of its public-school students get their only guaranteed meals of the day at their schools -- that places like Montgomery and Fairfax mostly don't have to worry about. DC also is the only district in the area where city buses are school buses, and I'm going to guess WMATA (still incompetent despite the unwarranted hosannas its director now gets from the people of mediocre privilege crowd) hasn't been forthcoming with its plans to get the bus system 100 percent online by tomorrow's rush hour.[/quote]

Teachers living outside the district (which I'd wager is the majority) won't be able to get to school. That's a pretty big deal to have in a school, ya know?[/quote]

Nope. A student getting injured in a bus accident is bad press. Students missing out on a meal is something they care about. Residents of DC being able to go to work is important to politicians. A teacher getting in an accident in another state is not something they care about.[/quote]

Correct.
