I’m very surprised. And there is a lot of anger!

I would recommend that everyone get on the VDOT website and submit requests for specific areas that need to be cleared for buses, like merge lanes or neighborhoods that are single lane.

6 OF THEM

I count 3.5:
Sept 9
Jan 26 & 27
Jan 28 (2 hour early release already scheduled)

FEB 2
AND APRIL 21

April 21 has been decided or announced. Calm yourself.

^^^Has NOT been decided or announced.

What is April 21st? Why would school be closed that day?

FCPS loves to find reasons to close.

We are awaiting an appeal from the courts. If we win, there will be an Election Day where voters will be asked whether they support gerrymandered districts, as Texas, Utah, Missouri, and other red states already do.

Maybe school can open for kindergarten through 2nd or 3rd grades for parents need child care (since school bus stop situation parents may need to drop off & pick up), then 3rd grades and above can do virtual lessons ( Fcps student all have school issued laptops at home, unless some students may not have reliable home network). That way older kids can continue learning, while younger ones can get day care service from school so parents can work, and it’s easier handling kiss n ride.

Nope.

DH thinks it is VDOT. Is it FCPS? Homeowners?

We don’t have a sidewalk in front of our house.

Homeowners! How is this even a question?

What about sidewalks that aren't in front of houses?

Thursday and Friday were scheduled closures. SACC does not have staffing to support unscheduled full day closures.

Yes they do. Plenty of their staff could have worked the full day and I would be you $100 they didn’t even try asking. MCPS figured it out and Fairfax couldn’t. Bottom of the barrel.

We need to demand they claw back future closures

So are they extending the quarter again?
