Why would we do this?  This is NOT a state issues.  This is a MCPS issue and it has been for decades.  If MCPS is not using the 3 make-up days and the state allowed President's Day to be used and we also didn't use that day or Tuesday - what else should the state do?  Just allow MCPS to continue to be an absolute train wreck and go to school less days than all of the other counties?  [/quote]

Exactly - I remember a time I think in 2009/10 when my oldest was in ES and MCPS asked the parents to contact the state to complain about being the only county who didn't get an accepted waiver, but once again they were the only one to not use President's day, teacher work days, take of a day of Spring break, etc... They put ZERO effort into trying to get their 180 days in and the state was like - oh well, not our problem. And this was BEFORE any religious holidays were days off besides the two Jewish ones in the Fall.  Now it is so much worse.  Kids barely go to school 5 days a week anymore.  They might as well just have year round school.[/quote]
