[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work at a school that has to have teachers park in the neighborhood.  If the streets aren’t plowed to allow for parking, there is no where to park.[/quote]

Same at my school[/quote]

I love the parents complaining who go to jobs with parking garages and buildings with guaranteed heat in their offices. Many of us will show up to piles of snow in parking spots and need to park two blocks away with the choice to either walk down dangerous roads or climb ad walk on top of piles of ice and snow that cover neighborhood sidewalks. Then for a bonus we get chilly~cold buildings.[/quote]

You realize that every single other business and even GMU and the DC public school system are all open as of today, right? Somehow FCPS is extra allergic to snow.[/quote]

GMU opened yesterday and today. Parking is not right near buildings except for handicapped and temporary loading. Parking is on the perimeter of campus even for faculty and staff. Garage spots are very expensive and limited. Many sidewalks and walkways not cleared, including some hilly paths. And of course classes require walking from one building to another in the cold, sometimes all the way across campus. I think if GMU students and faculty/staff can handle it, FCPS teachers will survive. [/quote]

Good for GMU, but I’m not sure the comparison is a sound one for many reasons.  FCPS has multiple campuses across a very large county, its student population is under 18, and many of those students’ are litigious blamers.

I’m pretty sure what teachers want or don’t want isn‘t going to factor into the decision whether schools open or close, so pick another straw man, my friend.
