They have to pass it on 4/30 but basically it’s framed as the only option.

No, they will vote on it in 2 weeks. It's just the MCPS recommendation.

I wonder if this proposal is to pressure the union to give up their grading days (switch them to half days) to avoid them having to start earlier?

This got asked and Taylor’s response was basically that it would have to be negotiated but this is the only option within the constraints we have now

Everyone should go put their input into the survey. It probably won’t make a difference but make it clear they should get rid of the random holidays, not start earlier!!

They aren't random. They are tied to specific religious observances.

Don’t cancel your beach trip. If they go through with this there will be so many absences that first week.
