[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First of all it's complete, utter bullshit to expect parents to drive their kids to school when the school system provides bus service. Either they do or they don't, but the whole it's your fault for not driving them is crap. FCPS can decide how to manage its services, but it's not right to just excuse this cluster and blame parents for relying on a service (reliable bus service for qualified students) they were told existed.

Honestly, what should have happened is a two hour delay to allow temps to rise a bit and to work out the mechanical issues. And they should have announced it last night to give parents time to make arrangements, etc.[/quote]

I intend to email the FCPS superintendent to express my utter dismay at their incomprehensible decision today.  A 2-hour delay would have solved most of the issues our kids faced this morning...[/quote]

How?  It rose 2’ degrees here from 13’ to 15’. Same problems, just delayed.  Better to get it over with earlier so that they have more time in school. [/quote]

A two hour delay wouldn’t fix the weather or the temperature, but it would allow the buses to get ready (warm up the engines, check for breakdowns, missing drivers etc.) while giving parents and students a specific time to be at the bus stop. [/quote]

Why not have the bus drivers go in two hours early?[/quote]
