COUNTY: Inflexible daycare policy unfair

| March 18, 2026 1:00 AM

I am writing to express concern regarding the County Commissioners’ refusal to allow even a modest 30-minute flexibility for staff who need to drop off their children at daycare facilities that are not located just minutes from the office.

Requiring employees to meet a strict 7:00 a.m. start time, without consideration for real-world childcare logistics, places an unnecessary burden on working families. In some cases, staff may be forced to remove their children from established daycare environments simply to meet this rigid schedule. Such disruption can be stressful for children, who thrive on consistency, and for parents trying to balance both family and professional responsibilities.
