From Montgomery County:
Dear Staff and Families,
Temperatures have continued to fluctuate and have now dropped to a dangerously low level. Given the majority of schools were originally scheduled for an early release, we will not be able to accommodate a delayed scheduled. Therefore, Montgomery County Public Schools will be closed Friday, January 16, 2009.
Welcome to Chalk Dust! This is your community aimed at exploring education in the New River Valley. I'm Anna Mallory. I went to public schools in West Virginia and now I cover PreK-12 education for the Roanoke Times.
I read way too many reports about improving schools and can speak in entire sentences using educational acronyms. I'll be letting you know about issues and events affecting your children, schools and tax dollars, but, more importantly, I want to know what you think. Let me know your opinions about issues in the boardroom, classroom and beyond.
