[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Longer and frequent breaks is far better.

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

Vacations are also dependent on when working parents can take time off work. When we moved MD in 2012 we learned quickly that everything seems to shit down for the entire month of August. [/quote]
