[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The entire LB pyramid isn’t allowing kids out after 2:00. [/quote]

1:30 at our WS pyramid school. [/quote]

How is that going to work if middle schools dismiss at 2:15?[/quote]

It’s ONE school where students are not allowed outside after 1:30. It has to be an elementary school where recess would occur in the afternoon.

Totally ridiculous since the eclipse doesn’t even begin until 2:00pm. [/quote]

Yes, correct. It's one ES. I think the students in trailers are also not allowed to go from their classes to the main building, so not sure how that will go.[/quote]

Oh dear god. That is just stupid. What school is this? [/quote]

This is the issue. The county should be making district wide decisions about this and not leaving it up to pyramids or individual schools.

Unless something comes out Monday morning…

No, the district should not be making decisions about this. If they told everyone they had to stay inside, people, including staff, would rage that they were missing an incredible, rare event. If FCPS went and bought 180K glasses so that everyone could be safe, people would rage about a waste of money, especially if Monday turns out to be cloudy.

Letting schools decide what works best for them is the only way this can work. If you’re afraid your kid will miss it, take them out of school. And if you’re afraid your kid’s eyes will burn out because the school is going outside, then take them out of school.

It’s a no-win situation. Someone will be pissed on Monday. It’s just par for the course with FCPS parents. [/quote]
