MCPS considering Spring Break dates not contingent on Easter?

[Anonymous]

I feel like I heard a school district was going to make it so Spring Break was at the same week each year, and not occur necessarily the week Easter.

Was that a dream?

Maybe Fairfax..is.

State law requires Good Friday and Eastern Monday to be off, so MCPS is not going to change this without a change in the law.

DC is always the 3rd week of April to coincide with Emancipation Day, its been that way for a bunch of years now

Fairfax did that a couple years ago, and it was a mess. Teachers who didn't live in Fairfax got screwed, having to teach when their own kids were off and then off when their kids were not.

DC has always been the outlier on spring break.

Yeah but they could have a spring break and still work those two days into the calendar as holidays. I wish it was more consistent on the calendar.
