[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does DCPS have to be such a pain about this  :roll: 
Is it the Mayor who decides this? I don’t want to wake up at 5am to check if schools are closed or delayed[/quote]

As of now, there is no delay, so there’s nothing to announce. The whole idea that they’re delaying school over a few snow showers is insane.[/quote]

Some people still don’t understand that ice and temperature are a problem. Look at the weather app, theres a special weather statement.[/quote]

DC has plenty of salt for the roads. Most kids come on foot, next most common mechanism is public transpiration. This is primarily a teacher issue, and I get that, but ultimately it should be based on the conditions at the location of the school with flexible leave policies for teachers coming from a county that declares an issue.[/quote]

How can a school have "flexible leave policies" for teachers? What happens if all your students are there but only half the teachers show?[/quote]

By flexible leave, I just mean that no warning leave is permitted for teachers living in affected counties. And you combine classes, cancel planning periods, etc and play the required admin pay under the WTU agreement for doing so. [/quote]

That plan would mayyyybe work for elementary.

For middle and high school, you want to have a bunch of bored teens sitting in the auditorium all day with insufficient adult coverage?[/quote]
