[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we not agree that this year is extremely unusual?? Just because people want exceptions this year doesn't mean it should be or would be a permanent thing. I think if people are loud enough, the board will hear and hopefully amend next year's calendar. It's not too late, as they already amended one day in September 2026 that was slated to be off that is now a school day.[/quote]

Except it wasn't. We have snow days every year. So far the total number has been pretty normal for a typical year. They were bunched together more, but the overall number is typical.

Do people really not remember last year? Or before covid?  It might seem worse, but that's just because MCPS used to build in more days knowing that it snows in the winter. Now they try to pretend it doesn't when they make the calendar.[/quote]

Agree. MCPS closes very easily. If there's an inch upcountry and rain downcountry, we close. We often use 4-5 days, sometimes more. What the legislature should be doing is requiring MCPS to schedule a 185 day school year, and then if we don't use them ending school early.[/quote]

That's just a myth that MCPS allows to perpetuate to avoid responsibility. Conditions are almost always fine upcounty. But MCPS doesn't bother to clear the schools. This time it mostly downcounty schools that MCPS didn't get ready[/quote]
