Urge FCPS to Cancel School Due to Extreme Weather Conditions

The Issue

Personal experiences often mirror broader community concerns. Like many, I find myself still under a blanket of snow with untouched sidewalks after being off the whole week. The outside temperatures remain freezing, making outside activities, including walking to school, hazardous. Would it not be safer and more logical to cancel the school day under FCPS?

Our call is simple: priorotize the safety of the students and staff over schedule maintenance. We recognize the importance of education, but we also know health and safety are paramount. Let us ensure that FCPS lives up to its pledge of putting the safety of its students and staff first. Please sign this petition to encourage FCPS to cancel school in these extreme weather conditions.
