Talbot County Public Schools are open and operating on a normal schedule.
Las escuelas públicas del condado de Talbot estarán operando en los horarios normales.
It appears that schools in mid Shore Counties -- Dorchester, Talbot, Caroline, Queen Anne's -- are opened, so why are they closed here (Wicomico. Worcester & Somerset)???

Who are the boneheads on the Bored of Ed. in the lower Shore counties -- they need a wake-up call ASAP!
Sussex schools are opened, except for Delmar, which copies Wicomico on closing.
Joe:
That's a dumb question -- it's not snowing hard in those counties like it is down here.
It wasn't this bad when Ricky Pollitt was on the school board.
anonymous 9:56, please forgive me? Some times I just go off with the mouth before INVESTIGATING the situation and things just don't work out like they should. LOL
Maybe they have WEATHER POWERS!!!!
They know something we don't..LMAO!!!
Hey Fredricksen knows all remember???
How about talking about the hearsay that the "new" Wicomico County Super who is already engaging exectuive search firms. If that is the case, shouldn't we be skeptical of his ability to make decisions with a long term focus?
my my my , what a terrible storm we are having. Cancelling schools and the roads are not only "clear", they are dry in many areas????? WTF????
Duh. We have whiteout conditions! They don't!
well if he isnt staying with BOE YAY.. good for the kids...
So dont complain..
Him and Tom fields are the two worst people to trust ur kids with...
They closed because they can now get a 5 day waiver for previous days off instead of the expected 2 because of the State Of Emergency... Then they will have an excuse for poor performance on State Tests ECT...
The Salisbury School is open today. They typically follow the county but did not today.
At this point I think the County should just stop PRETENDING to actually care about our childrens' education. Lets cheat the kids out of a future and proper education, but hey, they were off the roads!
actually anony:10:35 may have a point. Though still no excuse to close the schools today. Not only did bad weather put me in predicament with the school closing, they will only be operating 1/2 day on monday, in order to makeup a snow day, but the 1/2 day still puts me in a bind. I think we are at 12 snow days. I hope dear freddy boy, scales back the spring / easter break and looses some the additional professional days.
chrissy
we never got any snow last night he in north west wicomico county and still don't have any today yet. Even my kids woke and asked why did they cancel school today. I think the kids are just as sick of being home. lol
This just in..... Wicomico County Public Schools will be closed for the entire month of May for fear of radiation poisoning from springtime sunshine!! Give me a break!
Dear Lord, please forgive me for making wrong calls or making mistakes so I can comment on here. It is apparent those venting on here have never done either. Yes sometimes people do make wrong calls and err in judgement but get over it. What's done is done. Get on with your day.
board of ed. need to find a weather radar and someone to be able to read it.
ATTENTION...ATTENTION...ATTENTION
schools will be closed today because of wet ground, breezey conditions and temperatures of 38 degrees....
what next....will they close schools because the sun is to bright....
if it did begin to snow...they could have closed schools early...
Doesn't every see the snow --it's really snowing hard....
We are just not able to understand that the brilliance of educators to see it.
Just keep lookin for it.. it should definitely start soon with the temperature at 40 degrees!!
I agree that school should have been in session today, However, the BOE's job is nothing short of air traffic control with busses. They can't win for losing. If they open school people complain. If they close it due to a ominous forecast they are criticized. Testing and school activities aside, as that's an argument for a different forum, its a tough job and one that can't possible please everyone. With the hype this storm was getting even down here its understandable they had a knee jerk reaction. Its a daycare inconvenience for sure but lets not make the job of closing/opening school sound like its tremendously easy because its not...
wow you people complain about everything! First ya complain cause schools open when they shouldnt. Now the county is being precautious and you guys are complaining. I understand we havent got snow yet but what if we did? You would be glad they already closed school instead of scrambling to pick your kids up when they closed school early. Give them a break!
Enough already! They made the right call this morning because we had a couple inches of snow and ice on the ground with the threat of more on the way. Better safe than sorry. Somebody's got to always be complaining about something-if schools were open on schedule this morning, everyone would be complaining that they should have closed. You cannot please all of the people all of the time. And you can bet they will be closed tomorrow as well with more snow coming tonight. I, for one, am glad that they are doing what they feel is best to protect our children!
Isn't it a shame, the free babysitter is closed today. Lets face it, that is all you people are concerned about.
Accomack County went to school today, on time. My mom is a bus driver, they told them to stay close to a phone in case they need to release early this afternoon! Why couldn't Wicomico have done that?
No snow at all today and it's partly sunny in Somerset County.
I love that anon 9:52 AM is calling the Board of Ed. boneheads. *While spelling board incorrectly*
jspurwur - it's called "sarcasm". i.e. they are bored of education...get it?
Oh I am fluent in sarcasm. Your attempt just wasn't funny. Oh well.

What past superintendent do you like. Dr. Boston was no good either. Seems that that positon is hated by all.
Salisbury Christian was open today.
Umm, not a drop of precipitation today and schools closed. Awesome.
