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]

I know. Mean country villains we are who live out in the woods of Clarksburg and Hyattstown. Why couldn't we just live packed together like rats inhaling smog and dealing with city issues in downcounty like everyone else? It really is terrible that us Hinterland folk who live on 1 or 2 lane roads that wind through forests and farms and have driveways a mile long have to mess up life for the downcounty city slickers. Sorry, I would not like to have a bus turn over and end up killing our kids. Clarksburg Rd. Is a roller coaster when slick and it is narrow with large trucks careening down the hills. Ther have been many a car wrapped around a tree. Burnt Hill is a little better. Lewisdale is more flat but has nasty ditches and no side road as a buffer. 355 has hills too. We have no way out really when weather is crazy or roads are icy. And, yes, we like our country living with tractor traffic, chicken and deer crossing, and our tranquil community. [/quote]
No one is trying to kill kids in Clarksburg. But if it’s raining in Silver Spring why can’t those kids go to school and your kids can stay home safe?[/quote]

FWIW, I live upcounty and totally agree.  Sort of like when they cancelled because its too cold for the kids downcounty to walk to school, the upcounty schools could stay open.

I wish they could figure that out.  Potentially have clusters have different schedules/calendars[/quote]
