False. MCPS closes at least once a year for an “ice storm” or sleet that turns out to be a rainy winter day. [/quote]

Where I live, those "ice storms" are usually ice storms.[/quote]

This is another reasons why the county school system is bad and should be broken up.[/quote]
They don’t even need to officially break it up. Just have 2 different administrative regions for calendars/weather. One icy road in Hyattstown should not shut down an entire school system serving 160k kids, two-thirds of whom live downcounty. [/quote]

Except kids travel from all over the county to attend special programs or because they have split custody. Plus, staff live all over. What happens when your W school opens but 25% of the teachers can’t make it in?[/quote]

The latter is not an issue unique to MoCo.  In many other areas the school systems are at the town level, yet not all teachers live in the town they teach in.  Not to mention, schools close more often for weather than other workplaces- so even when schools close, plenty of people are still commuting from affected areas.  [/quote]
