[quote=Anonymous]The only reason the Hogan rule is ridiculous, and it is ridiculous, is that 23 of 24 districts in Maryland have decided it is better for them to follow different rules.

If the districts were equally split OR mostly already following the Hogan rule, then forcing the others to follow would be okay.

If the polls saying 70% of people want the Hogan rule were true, then supporters could easily have voted in enough school boards to get the start date of at least 40 or 50% of districts to be after Labor Day.

There is no way that 70% of the people who vote in the school board elections want the rule.  The wording of the poll and/or the people they picked led to whatever conclusion they wanted it to support.

You can argue that school start date isn't important enough to change a school board vote, I will argue back that I don't think we need 23 of 24 boards or 70% of the boards but just 12 of 24 boards supporting the rule to keep it.

We don't have TWO, the rule is ridiculous.
