[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought if we’re in a state of emergency, then there can be a waiver granted. [/quote]

That was the old ways. It only applies if you make an effort to make up the days, but can’t.[/quote]

+1. The state is requiring MCPS to [b]actually use[/b] the contingency days. That's the whole point of having them.[/quote]
It's one thing for non-state of emergency closures but having to make up state of emergency closures is disgusting![/quote]

Everyone knows we get snow. If MCPS isn't willing to even try to open after snow, it needs much more than 1 snow day. This is blatantly refusing to prepare.[/quote]

This is the drum I've been banging for years.  I've begrudgingly accepted this area can't handle snowstorms.  But knowing this, we should prepare for that apparent DMV fact of life and build in some slack.  1 snow day is administrative malpractice.  And stop putting contingency days in the fall.  We never use them and then are forced to add useless contingency days at the end of the year.  And sorry, the transition day should not have taken away a school day for everyone else.[/quote]

They don’t even use the spring contingency days, even though they are after the snow days. [/quote]
