[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So why does MCPS include makeup days in the calendar, and then not use them?   3/20 and 4/15 would have been preferable to these June days.[/quote]

They are trying to get a waiver of the 180 days requirement.  It’s a gambit. It appears so outrageous, and then they just want out of the days requirement.  The state legislature may actually do it…even though they are not using the designated back up days.[/quote]

It was already denied yesterday. The state has had it with MCPS entitlement [/quote]

MCPS is pushing emergency bill right now in state legislature to override [/quote]

It didn’t work last time they tried. All other counties in Maryland but us were operational after the week off weekend AND used some of their contingency days. PG even used Presidents Day when the state allowed it.  MC did not. The teachers union refused to use April 15th. Muslims want their holiday.

Why should the state allow MCPS to go less days than every other f’ing county when they haven’t put ANY effort getting these kids the right number of days. [/quote]

The problem now is that MCPS is getting the legislature to change the law just for them. What an embarrassment. Half our kids can’t read at grade level, and they are even worse at math, but MCPS is seeking to permanently get rid of the 180 day requirement — rather than commit to doing better planning moving forward.
