I still wait for the day the county figures out how to zone itself or something so the close-in areas don't have to go along with the far-flung areas.

The Post is wrong. Only 4 days are built into the calendar.

Waivers usually happen when there has been a major snow event where a state of emergency has been declared for the entire state. Not the case this time.

I think they'll get a waiver/exception from the State. Other states that have had lots of snow have gotten such waivers. I would think MCPS could do the same.

5th closure. 3rd delay? Already extended the school year one day. Ridiculous.

OP here - wow, five already...anyone know about delays? This explains why it feels like the kids have barely gone to school the last few weeks!

I read in the Wash Post last week that MoCo had one snow day left before it would have to make up the days. So today would be the last "free" snow day. I'm not sure what the number is.

I think this is the 5th day MCPS has been closed, and that that is all the days that were built into the calendar.

I don't know either, but I'm pretty sure that the weather is Starr's fault. Also, something something 2.0.

I know we haven't had a full week since December, but I've lost count on the number of delays and closings so far this winter. Does anyone know?
