By whom? Don't worry about that...[/quote]

But it's normal for MCPS to have these ridiculous delays/closures when the weather is fine.  Is Taylor saying that's actually going to change?[/quote]

They have gotten increasing ridiculous under Taylor, which is an impressive achievement.[/quote]
How have they? My youngest is a senior. I remember plenty of 2 hour delays when she was in elementary school - even when it turned out to only rain.[/quote]

That's not the ridiculous part. In this case, the ridiculous thing was prohibiting child care from opening around the same time as high schools. And previously, Taylor kept schools closed until Thursday for a winter storm on Sunday.[/quote]

I agree, but a similar situation occured with childcare not being allowed to open last winter when it otherwise would have.  I recall KAH was caught off guard and complained about it.  [/quote]

Exactly my point. Why has it suddenly gotten so much worse under Taylor? Is it him? Is it Cat Malchodi? Is it a new budget or staffing issue?[/quote]

Where I work, decisions regarding facilities are effectively made by the head of operations. For MCPS, I believe that’s Cat Malchodi. I just looked her up. She seems to live in a $3 million, 10,000 square foot mansion in Potomac. She might be a little too out of touch for that position…[/quote]

Y'all. Stop. Cat makes no decisions. First off, Cat is not the head of operations. She's the Executive Director of Operations, which in MCPS basically means she's the top admin secretary for that division. The actual chief of operations for the system is Adnan Mamoon. But even he is blameless here as Taylor and Essie make all of the decisions.

Please stop looking for someone other than Taylor to blame here for this fumble.[/quote]

+1. This is not Malchodi's fault; she is just the messenger. [/quote]

Why should it be Taylor’s decision on something as operational as whether to open private before care on a rainy day? He’s the superintendent not the ops manager.  Don’t they have a policy in place as to how these decisions are made? It’s not like MCPS doesn’t have these barely justifiable rain delays every year. It shouldn’t be a big flex to manage this professionally.  [/quote]

Well, everything changed when Taylor started, so I am blaming him. [/quote]
