Anonymous #1, you are ridiculous. At least us teachers were able to do some planning at home. It would have been more appropriate for you to have expected the administrators or all those central office employees to be out there shoveling. I'm sorry you were so jealous of the snow days. Perhaps you could become a teacher? Or a federal employee as they had off most of the week as well?

I do have kids in school. What is wrong with having school on Saturday? After all, doesn't education come first?

I think LCPS has handeled this unusual situation very well and I have no complaints.

I think we should have school on the next 10 Saturdays to make up the time that was missed because of the snow.

why is loudoun county having a one hour delay while EVERY OTHER county around us is on a 2 hour delay or CLOSED! Some parents do work and cannot "supervise" the bus stops as directed. Most parents will be driving their kids- even though we were told not to. High schoolers will be driving even though we were told NOT to let them. And now that the fed is on a 2 hour delay the "rush

Anon--Right On! And while we are at it, why don't we demand that the school children bring their shovels and snowblowers and help with the snow removal. After all, they are the ones who will be using the sidewalks to get to school. Ah yes, the parents! They will be using the roads to drive their children to school so why shouldn't they be out there shoveling the roadways so that the

Anonymous, I don't think you read Dr. Hatrick's message correctly. In his message he stated that some roads, many sidewalks and school bus stop areas in the community would not be cleared of snow making it dangerous for students to get to school. The schools are not responsible for the conditions of the streets and sidewalks in the community. He asked for the communities to assist in

Someone should get sacked...or at least reprimanded and demoted for the pathetic snow removal planning and after-the-snow response. I suggest the Superintendent get called before an open public hearing so school board members can question him on the schools response to the snow. The Superintendent's numerous voice mail messages follow by the school principals were an apology disguised as
