Move. MCPS doesn't actually care about the students or families, especially not those working hourly wage jobs.

Thanks, we trust the providers to make that call. Does MCPS not?


They use MCPS facility. What are you not understanding, my f jeesuz.


Do you not understand the difference between landlords and tenants? Do you seriously think it is a landlord's role to say "hmm, I think some of my tenants might not be able to get enough staff to come in today and might have to choose to stay closed, so I guess I will prohibit any of my tenants from having the choice to open in the first place?"

(Leaving aside the fact that there is exactly zero evidence of any staffing challenges in the first place.)


This isn't like a building owner telling a store that they can't open. The terms of usage of the MCPS buildings and the potential scheduling liabilities are disclosed to the providers and shared with the clients. You don't have to think they are right or to like them in order to understand that those are the rules of engagement.


The issue isn't whether or not MCPS *can* prevent child care providers from opening. It is whether or not they *should.*

MCPS is publicly accountable (or should be, at least) as a taxpayer-funded government program. We can and should expect them to make sensible decisions.

Ad you said, they're not just a typical landlord here.


they should protect their employees. why are you anti-worker?


How does opening all day child cares at 9 but keeping beforecare closed protect MCPS employees? Who all were told to report at their regular time anyway?


Are you the same daft person asking why why why over and over. Do you read? This has been answered countless times on this very thread. Disgusting parents who dgaf except for themselves and not even for the people who look after who should be your most precious gift(s).


Lady the child care providers were ready to open, and have done so without incident for years. You are making up this fake concern for the staff.

If you're wondering about what drives Taylor to close child care for no logistically defensible reason, see the posts above. He hates working women.

Lots of anti parent trolls

Obviously it's psychotic to open high schools earlier than opening the child care providers many high school teachers rely on. But MCPS leadership is clearly psychotic.

Plus employees of MCPS were necessary to open the buildings. So the analogy of landlord/tenant falls apart through that as well.

I think they bungled the childcare thing and the code yellow messaging.

BUT! I did not get 500 texts, 50 emails, or a creepy 5am robocall to wake me up this time. Just one text and one email. For that I am thankful.
