Mail Call – Early Dismissals at Washington County Schools

"I'm calling - the Washington County school system has done some absolutely appalling things in the past, but today has got to be the worst - allowing their teachers to go home as an early dismissal, but requiring the ... other administrative staff to stay, and to use personal or sick time in case they felt it unsafe and needed to leave because of the weather, was absolutely ridiculous." - Hagerstown

God forbid that staff might actually have to put in a full day's work when it snows outside, this goes for the teachers to some extent too. There really is no reason why people need to leave that early due to some bad weather. The world does keep going when there is snow and freezing rain and the majority of us never have the ability to run home from work just because the weather is bad. If the staff has a problem with working, then I suggest they come with me to work on a day with bad weather so they can see what commuting to Rockville is like days when you spend 15 hours in your car and at work just to have to do it all again the next day.
