[quote=Anonymous][quote=keithcc]Just checked Frederick, Howard, and Prince George's.  [b]Frederick is making up days over Spring Break.  Howard and PG make it clear that their calendars are subject to change.[/b]

In Frederick County, they are using Spring Break days to make up for the snow days (http://www.fcps.org/site/Default.aspx?PageID=2)
I believe Montgomery County has sufficient financial resources to match Frederick.

Here's what Howard County's school calendar says:
"*As of March 4, HCPSS has used the five inclement weather days that were built into the calendar, as well as three additional days. Maryland law requires a minimum of 180 school days each year. Once the winter season has ended, the Board of Education will make a decision regarding the makeup of the additional missed day(s)"

Prince George's County 
(http://www1.pgcps.org/calendar/)
===========================
June 5

Thursday

Last Day for Students (1/2 day ) – End of Fourth Quarter (42 days) – Subject to change due to inclement weather

June 6

Friday

Last Day for Teachers – Subject to change due to inclement weather

June  6 & 9-11

Friday & Monday - Wednesday

Inclement Weather Make-Up Days

First, I say good for Frederick for having the balls to make up the days before June. I also believe they should be prepared for a high absentee rate of both students & teachers.

Howard and PG make it clear they have a contingency plan in place. Guess what... so does MCPS.

Neither Howard nor PG have had any statements that they are implementing their contingency. Howard even says HCPS will make a decision on what to do after the winter session is finished. [/quote]
