[quote=Anonymous]Per COMAR, MCPS can't request a waiver until it has BOTH extended the school year 3 days past its original end date AND used up the make-up days it identified previously.

MCPS scheduled it for the Monday to extend the school year 3 days past the original closing date, but it didn't use any of the prior make-up days. I don't see how they can get a waiver.

And the Monday thing is in the law - the state is able to waive the last day being on a Monday more easily.

See https://dsd.maryland.gov/regulations/Pages/13A.02.01.04.aspx

Application for Waiver.

(1) In the required written application for waiver of school days, it shall be demonstrated that:

(a) The local school system developed a calendar which included days to be used to make up days lost. Depending upon past experience, this number could range from 3 to 10 days throughout the State. The local school system calendar shall have identified those potential make-up days which could have been used as student days when calendar modification becomes necessary; that is, make-up days, student vacation days, etc.

(b) The local school system has modified its calendar by scheduling school on the make-up days provided in the original calendar and by extending the school year 3 days beyond the previously scheduled closing date.

(2) In considering this application, the State Board of Education may waive:

(a) The final day needed to complete the 180-day schedule if that day falls on a Monday;

(b) Additional days beyond those specified in §D(1)(b) of this regulation that would have to be added to the calendar to complete a 180-day schedule.
