I have a friend who is pretty high up
In the BCPS head office. I know that he and his colleagues had been working 12-16hr days 7 days a week to try and figure out how to get instruction to students. Blaming the superintendent for canceling the prom is really misplaced IMO. Everyone could sense that this was likely going to happen. If they waited two weeks that would probably be more irresponsible.
He also has a daughter who is a senior and she is devastated the her senior activities like prom and graduation are canceled. The hurt he feels as a father is the same as the OP. However they know it’s the right thing to do.
Children are resilient they will adapt to the impact of COVID19 better than most adults.
