It’s poorly managed and the oversight by a bunch of hacks with their personal agendas is atrocious. The phrase “dumpster fire” captures it well.
Girl, the idiots on the School Board are the ones with agendas. Take Keys Gamarra and her Lewis Academy pet project that is being created out of whole cloth because no one had a clue what it was really supposed to accomplish. Or Karl Frisch with his $36M waste of taxpayer money at Dunn Loring all to save Blake Lane Park.

Metaphorically, FCPS has been a bit of a dumpster fire for some time with the school closures, failures to provide special education students with the services to which they were entitled, and the neglect of critical infrastructure needs at some of its schools for years. But now we're getting actual evidence of the consequences of their neglect and incompetence. What is going to take to get these people to focus on the basics, which include making sure kids have safe transportation to and from school, again?
I live in a lesser county with a fairfly sh*tty school system. I have to laugh when people in FFX and Moco go on about theirs. You have no clue what a bad school system is. No clue.

There were kids on the bus who were evacuated when the driver noticed smoke. The kids were evacuated before the fire.

I have a child with special needs who needed a ton of private tutoring over multiple years. I don't wait for the school to offer something, that's for sure! Public schools never have enough funds to cover everything, particularly in areas of rapid population growth, and as for the pandemic - you're really blaming an already stretched system for not responding well to a GLOBAL PANDEMIC? No government, no public school system, no one responded well.
Ridiculous.
I disagree. The issues with FCPS are coming to a head these days and the PP was saying this was a physical illustration of those issues. Use your imagination.

School closures? Really?
Glad everyone was okay. That picture is intense.
