Despite these efforts, temperatures remain low with wind chills, and ice on secondary roads continues to create hazardous travel conditions.

The schools systems should have gone virtual this week so they could get things cleared up on school grounds, sidewalks in communities for walkers and not have to worry about making any days up. Parents could have made arrangements for the entire week for their children i.stead of deciding day to day.
I think they should have a half a day school on Saturday like we did back in day to make up for school absence and catch up with school work 💯
Some of the back roads and the sidewalks are still not clean I truly believe it’s still not safe for the kids to return to school
As a parent, I have a concern with schools in Calvert opening at all on Thursday, Jan 9th, due to so many side roads are still dangerous for travel! Let’s keep or kids and bus drivers safe.
THEY ARE INSANE! MONTGOMERY COUNTY STREETS AND SIDE ROADS IS AS WORST AS PG COUNTY! WHAT ABOUT THE KIDS WITH DISABILITIES, ALL THAT FREEZING ICE OUT THERE!! APPARENTLY THEY DIDN’T FINISH THEIR HOMEWORK!
