Most APS teachers can’t afford to live in Arlington, so they live further out in places that are still digging out


I know, which is why I said that.

Wrong decision and other parts of the county said school bus routes are ready: https://x.com/ArlingtonDES/status/1876765871630110841?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

Young people of Arlington: 99%+ of school bus routes are now considered passable. We apologize for the inconvenience. #ArlWX https://arlingtonva.us/Government/Departments/PSCEM/Emergency-Preparedness/Weather/Snow-and-Ice/Snow-Removal-Phases

APS will open with a 2 hour delay but some bus will slide on an icy hill and lots of teachers will call out so parents will be in an uproar that schools didn’t close.

APS YOUR WEBSITE SAYS NORMAL. But today was not normal so this is terrible.

I think they are waiting on DCPS as weather and rows are more similar (though yes I know a lot of staff may live in Fairfax)

An announcement would be great- I guess as an FCPS parent I’ll assume open and call a sub.

Don't think they are closing. The county just sent out a note that 99% of school bus routes are oassable.

Yup. They’ve been waiting on Fairfax to go first.

You sound like you work at syphax. The quickest way to kill public support for public education is to demand less school.
