[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fairfax county in VA went to school on MLK day, Is going a full day on April 7th which should have been a teacher work day and has added two days onto the end of the year per the SCHOOL CONTINGENCY CALENDAR. They didn't even bother asking for a waiver even with 2 days of state of emergencies. What has MCPS done to even try to make up the time? It will not look good if the days are waived.[/quote] Fairfax didn't go to school on MLK day. That was a holiday. They DID go to school on Presidents' Day, per their contingency plan. FFX also did not ask for a waiver in 2009-2010 and extended the school year considerably. MCPS got a waiver in 2009-2010, just like all the districts in Maryland. I believe that most, if not all, the VA jurisdictions go a full 180 days regardless, whereas in Maryland a school year is 180 days only by the luck of the weather forecast. [/quote]
