[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anybody know why all three calendar options have April 26, 2021, as a day off?  The original draft versions developed in September [url=https://go.boarddocs.com/mabe/mcpsmd/Board.nsf/files/BGSUFN7BD0DA/$file/2020-2021%20School%20Year%20Calendar%20191008%20PPT.pdf]given here[/url] did not have this, but the new options [url=https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/calendar/proposed-calendar-2020-21.aspx] here [/url] added in some extra professional days and all of them included April 26.  I can't figure out anything special about that day and Google isn't helping.  Two of the options also added in October 16, which I think is the Maryland State Education Association convention and which used to be a regular day off a few years ago.[/quote]

It may be a contractual day for planning. [/quote]

I assume it's a planning day, but why that particular date?  I'm just curious whether there's a religious holiday I'm unaware of, or a statewide teacher's event, or some other reason why all the options have April 26, even though it's a slightly different time in the marking period for option 1 compared to 2 and 3.  But maybe it's just a convenient date that seems to balance between other days off and is before AP tests or something like that.[/quote]
