[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=keithcc]Hi all,

Our family is among those who oppose the waiver for MCPS.  We are strong believers in public education, and agree with those who feel that MCPS should use the contingency plan it published, and end the school year on June 20.

After reviewing the calendar, the waiver, and other information published by MCPS, I've concluded that a June 13th end date would not comply with Maryland's legal requirement of 1,080 open hours of school for elementary students.

By my calculations, the current waiver requests provides only 1072.5 hours of elementary school time.  Details, including sources, are available at are available at this page:

If you are interested in taking a principled stand for a full school year, please contact me at keithcc1966@gmail.com
(no haters, please!)

thanks,
Keith

Thanks Keith _ I already emailed my concerns to the BOE contact posted earlier. I think waiving the days will set a bad precedent and will make Montgomer County lose some respect. I am not pleased with the direction MC is taking on many issues and I will keep voicing my opinion. Good luck.

I used to be neutral on the waiver, but now, after reading the arguments of parents who oppose the waiver, I support the waiver.[/quote]
