[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They did include at least one question about the SY 26-27 calendar on the SY25-26 calendar survey that happened last fall. The result was 70% of respondents preferred starting one week before Labor Day, vs. 30% two weeks before. [url]https://go.boarddocs.com/mabe/mcpsmd/Board.nsf/files/DA2QU36AEFCC/$file/Draft%202025%E2%80%932026%20SY%20Calendar%20241022%20PPT.pdf[/url][/quote] The problem is that more than 3/4 of MCPS students aren’t old enough to take AP classes, so most of the respondents don’t foresee this decision’s having any impact academically, and therefore, they’re prioritizing summer vacation plans. Starting a week earlier would have an enormously beneficial impact, academically, for students taking AP classes, but they’re a minority population, whom most respondents aren’t considering. The BOE should take academics into consideration more than the crowd who says “but we’ve always taken vacation in August.”[/quote]
