[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Report from a real live principal:
I sent an email to facilities about remaining ice in our parking lot where kids would exit the bus. Within 30 minutes there were contracted crews here working on it.

I’d like to see if I can get them to take care of the sidewalks of the few houses across the street from the school whose owners chose to do nothing. The sidewalks are untouched sheets of ice. That probably won’t happen which means students won’t be able to safely get to the crossing guard at the crosswalk.

Transportation supervisors are going around and looking at stops. They are working with VDOT to clear them.

We really do want the kids back in school. [/quote]

But do you understand that you cannot clear all the bus stops in the county in a reasonable amount of time, and that while you do that, kids are missing out on critical instruction? In particular, high schoolers with AP exams in May, who need to work on the entire curriculum before their exam date?

As a Principal, can you push to have virtual learning approved for high schoolers in the future, if we ever get another event that closes schools for more than a week?

Thank you.

LOL my son took five AP classes all but one class was independent reading and learning. Have him read and study. There is not much critical instruction going on in FCPS high schools these days.[/quote]
