[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do we lose a day of spring break?[/quote]

I think this is our last free day. The next one eats up one day.[/quote]

I looked into it and the next snow day will add June 13 as a school day.  Jan 26 is also identified and it's a half day they would convert to a full day.  I like that option but who knows if we'll have another snow day by then. [/quote]

Jan. 26 is a full day off, not a half day that would be converted. Jan 25 is a half day.

MCPS web site does not actually give a plan for how MCPS would use their contingency days, other than saying June 13 is the first one to be used. Its exact language is "If the school year should be disrupted by emergencies and schools are closed three or more days, the first make-up day will be used on June 13, 2018. Other dates in 2018 identified as possible make-up days include: January 26, March 26, March 27, June 14, and June 15."

There is very little chance Jan. 26 would be used, even if there is another closure between today and then. MCPS/BOE would claim that "The plan is June 13 is the first one we'd use, so why plan for Jan. 26?" as well as "There isn't enough time to communicate that Jan. 26 would be used." It seems pretty clear that MCPS has no idea on how they will actually implement contingency days.
