[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at the mcps chat on dcum [/quote]

MCPS was idiotic because they did a 2 hour delay earlier in the week for what wound up being some light rain, and then didn't do a delay today which led to people commuting to schools on roads that had not yet been treated (why weren't they treated overnight in anticipation??).

Very dumb, but also reflects the way that this call is different in a suburban district where most students are driven by parents or ride school buses significant distances. DCPS certainly has families that drive to school, but on heavily treated urban roads that benefit from heat island effect most of the time. MoCo is massive and can't afford to pre-treat the entire county for a storm like this, and people have to drive much further. It's just a very different decision.

Another thing to keep in mind when people are complaining "everyone around us is closed or delayed, why is DCPS open?" Because DCPS has different factors to consider and the school commute looks really different in the city than it does in places like Rockville or Vienna. [/quote]

Moco is just way too geographically large. They can’t effectively administrate it. Snow policies are the least of their problems.[/quote]

I really think it should be split into two separately governed school districts.[/quote]
