[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always wonder why there is not a week off for mid-winter break.  Is that just for states near skiing areas?[/quote]

They would not be able to do that in MCPS without starting a week earlier. There are just too many single days off during the year.[/quote]

The places with Mid-Winter break do not have grading days after every quarter. The also tend to either have fewer single days off and/or a smaller requirement. Seattle, WA has a 2 week December winter break, a mid-winter February break AND a spring break in April but has NO other religious holidays off besides Christmas. Good Friday OR Easter Monday is only off either coincide with spring break (2nd full week of April).[/quote]

In parts of New York they have this, but they also have a calendar that extends almost to the end of June, with 3-4 snow days built in ahead of time.   MCPS has a lot of single teacher days scattered throughout the year, no snow days, and every year, it's so much drama about the calendar and school closures.

MCPS needs to prepare properly like other school districts.[/quote]
