[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There will be no make up days. This is an unusual situation and county will get a waiver. As will all the other counties in the DMV. It has happened in the past, in 2009.[/quote]

Did we only have ONE built in snow day in 2009? There have to be some repercussions for such poor planning [/quote]

Apparently not if you're MCPS.  Anne Arundel have Baltimore have 3 snow days built into their calendar, and submitted their virtual learning plan to MSDE so they could offer online instruction last week.

MCPS is the slacker school district, despite its massive budget. It had a deficit of 3 snow days last year, yet...here we are with a deficit of 5 snow days this year.

Who could have predicted there might be snow?[/quote]

You all fail to see the problem. Other counties do not have Jewish holidays, Muslim holidays, lunar, diwali days off. Also those counties are much smaller. We have parents here who want to have religious holidays, don’t want to start earlier in August, and want to end in mid june and don’t want virtual learning. Too bad mcps is stuck with such parents who want everything and then complain when they cant. [/quote]

Actually Fairfax County observes those same holidays, but starts a week earlier in August than MCPS.  That way they don't consistently shortchange their kids 180 days the way MCPS does.[/quote]
