Kids get time.
Families can travel.[/quote]

It makes no sense to cram all vacations and breaks in 2-3 months. It's far better to spread it out. International families can travel and kids can get break. [/quote]

Agree so much.  I do appreciate that many have already planned their vacation for late August next year.... but I hope that if this is a reason to keep the later start for the coming year, we can take the time to address it sooner for future years.[/quote]

How many people in MoCo actually have a "bought and paid for" vacation already for August 2023?  I am guessing that is a small fraction of families.[/quote]

The problem is that many beach houses and cabins book up a year out.  It's not that ours isn't refundable at this point, it's that I don't think we could reschedule the same place to a different week.  We certainly wouldn't be able to in January when this is actually decided.  This is literally the first year I've even booked a vacation that week, because we end up having to take time off anyway.  My mistake, I just wasn't expecting MCPS to change the start/end weeks with only 6 months notice.[/quote]

Thatbis why I never book a beach house until after the calendar is finalized. [/quote]
