[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard about that. I think MCPS was asleep at the wheel all of last week, not realizing that this snowstorm was different from all the other storms we've had, and that snowplows had great difficulty clearing the ice... and so MCPS panicked over the weekend when they realized parents would be furious if Monday wasn't open, and threw everyone under the bus. I noticed they blamed homeowners as well.

They were asleep because they didn't have to go to work at all. Code Red means everything is closed, and it was Code Red Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week. GMAFB[/quote]

Seriously? Don’t public entities have a core of personnel that have to work to keep emergency operations going.

Contrast that with DC and Alexandria where they opened up on Wednesday including with food distribution sites.

I guess no one is holding MCPS accountable to a high standard. Or even a mediocre standard [/quote]

Seriously please stop quoting this “DC and Alexandria where they opened up on Wednesday including with food distribution sites.” Clearly you have a hard on about those districts.  MCPS has had food distributions sites open since last Wednesday.

And while I certainly think MCPS shoukd have communicated challenges more quickly, it's disingenuous for the county to act as if they don't understand what things are needed from them to ensure school can operate fully.  They know sidewalks, bus stops, and space for buses to pass are needed. So really this is on everyone.[/quote]

So now the county has to do their job and the job of MCPS! The county has a much bigger job and schools sat around doing nothing. [/quote]
