[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The situation isn’t all on Hogan, MCPS has new days off such as for the Eid holiday. Between the late start, holidays and staff days, the MCPS calendar is a mess.[/quote]
Maybe MCPS could start after all the religious hollidays in September so students can focus on learning.  Just add one or two hours to each school day.[/quote]

State law is based on days, not hours.

Also, guess how many "staff days" there are in the calendar this year? [/quote]

It is actually both days and hours. But the hours are pretty much a slam dunk to get with the minimum number of days.  I did hear Pat O'Neill comment once that too many delays and early releases will impact the hours requirement, but when I did the math, it still seemed like MCPS would have to have a TON of partial days (far more than 10) to not meet the hours requirement.

Also - No Eid "teacher workday" anymore in 2019 calendar. It will be used as an instruction day (already announced).[/quote]
