Because nothing will change between tomorrow and Tuesday or Wednesday. Time to rip the bandaid.

+1 we can’t stay closed for weeks and asynchronous learning is no substitute.

Actually they can. Calendar has 15 built in days for inclement weather. Teachers work those days pro bono. Cope harder. There’ll be a closure made in the early morning. Don’t ask how I know.

Wrong on both points.

Looks like drop off went fine!

Why would one be upset about school opening?

Western Loudoun is still pretty bad

But wEsTeRn LoUdOuN…

I agree with this poster. Western Loudoun is often no different from Eastern. It’s an overused excuse. Good on Loudoun for ripping off the band aid! Interestingly, from what I can see, metro areas in the south (GA, NC, etc.) quickly moved to virtual if unsafe to physically open, and up north, they opened within 1-2 days. For whatever reason, the DC metro is the only one that culturally excuses this insanity and just does nothing but close.

Why would they have?? It’s going to be 38 degrees today. Our roads aren’t nearly as bad as the tighter packed dense neighborhoods in Arlington and Fairfax that plows couldn’t fit down. We have no reason not to go!

Fairfax and Arlington are going to open tomorrow with no meaningful difference in conditions from today. Loudoun just ripped the bandaid a day sooner. We can’t wait for roads and bus stops to be perfect or it will be spring break.

Boohoo. Guess you have to go to work or burb leave. Feel sorry for your students. Maybe you are the HS teacher at our school no one can stand.

Welp, no closure. Honestly I'm shocked

U want to be off till March ?

There will be no morning closure. No conditions worsened overnight. Families who feel unsafe can keep their kid home with an excused absence. There’s no reason to switch up now.

I was thinking the same thing, but we shall see.

They are correct to open, OP. All the MCPS and FCPS parents are livid.
