Given the options presented, should I assume that there's no chance school will start before August 26?

Also why can't we just have Thanksgiving week off??

Why can't we have 2 weeks for winter break like Virginia?

I want to start after labor day and end before memorial day. Plenty of time to get 180 instruction days in then.

Probably true, but it's still early. They finalize it in December.

Sure. Let's change state laws on requiring that school be closed on Good Friday, Eastern Monday, and Christmas to New Years.

Let’s get Thanksgiving week off. Those half days are absurd.

They're intended for parent-teacher conferences.

They count as full days of school in the calendar, so, if we got them off, we would have to make those days up elsewhere.

Me too! The good ol days! With the choices I voted for August- June 11 (the early June).

I hate half days but these are required for conferences. Much better to have them Thanksgiving week than earlier in November like they used to be.

No many MD counties do not have them off.

Because VA counts school time by hours not days so a few years back they added 12 minutes? a day to get longer vacations.
