What a joke - no wonder students aren’t as happy as they used to be.

2-3 inches on bridges that wont yet be cleared?

Why wouldn't they be cleared?

They treated roads over the weekend, the treatment chemicals have now washed off. Some roads are wet and will freeze tonight especially bridges, then the 1-4 inches of snow will stick to the roads.

Are you one of those parents that lives in VA and sends their kid to DC schools and expects the schools to close every time it snows? We live one block from my children's private and they can walk easily. I hope schools do not close.

Do you somehow believe the majority of students and teachers live within walking distance of their private school? It’s great for you that you have that “neighborhood school” vibe that usually only comes with public, but it is not the case for most students and teachers at private schools.

Private school administrators have a much more realistic and sympathetic sense of where their whole community lives and commutes from than you seem to, and make their decisions accordingly.

I’m more cynical. When it’s a close call on school close vs delay, the choice depends on how many emails the head usually gets making one call over the other.

Some schools have parents that prefer schools stay open no matter what. Those schools are more likely to have a delay.

Administrators reading this please err on the side of caution. Do your best not to think about what families want and choose what is more safe!!! Thank you for all you do.

Capital Weather Gang says DCPS has a 40% chance of closing and 70% of at least a delay. But you know better than the meteorologists.
