[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was absolutely no teacher feedback requested for these changes in the calendar. No teachers want to go into June 25th.
Teachers work summer school, have other jobs etc. Keeping all of the school buildings open this late in the summer as well as providing buses and meals for students through that week will large added expenses for a school system that already claims to not have enough money.

Then you guys need to work with your union to have MCPS do better upfront planning and push them to use early contingency days. MCPS will say they can't because of the union. If that's not correct, or if the union isn't representing the best interest of the teachers, then you all need to speak up.[/quote]

Ahh the typical Anti-Union moron is here. [/quote]

I didn't read that post as being against the union - it was about making sure the union is representing its members and how that's communicated. And that is a legitimate concern. I honestly don't understand how or why the county gets away with listing make up days and not using them two years in a row now and still has those same makeup days listed in next years calendar when it clearly will only be used as a tool to apply for a waiver with no real intent to use it.

+1. Parents didn’t choose this crazy June schedule.  The MCPS board doc says they could not use the April 15 day that was designated and approved by the Board as a makeup day because of previous agreement with the union.

So if teachers would rather not use up their leave days to cover the new June days, they should have communicated to the union to use April 15.  Then probably March 20 would have stayed too..despite the obvious targeting of Muslims.  [/quote]
