Uh huh. Go for a drive. What you see today is what you'll see on Thursday...and next Thursday. Schools can't wait for the great melt.

Yes, our school was cleared out like this yesterday with several backhoes.

Why aren’t we doing virtual?

I get why they closed today. But nothing is going to improve by tomorrow or really at all this week

This is not the same as 2020. That was manipulated by the Teachers' union---especially Randi Weingarten.

This really is a matter of logistics and safety.

If we want to play that game we won't reopen till APRIL

Emailed this to the school board AND CC Ms.NATO "Allow students who want an education to attend school. Those who choose otherwise can remain home until conditions are fully clear. Seniors deserve to return to school, and we must not repeat the errors made in 2020. Enough is enough."

Nothing will change between today and tomorrow. I predict closure again. FCPS is excellent at not providing education.

Get ready for it then. The district isn't staying closed until March, which is when this substantively melts away.

You should do, if not .. your kids will not recognize shape and alphabet anymore and chance for Harvard will greatly diminished.

Agreed. The conditions are not safe.

Open when they are safe enough and not before.

So in a few weeks? because looking at the weather forecast it is not going above freezing anytime soon and VDOT is not going around doing nay additional plowing.
