[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a teacher who already booked a vacation for the week of the 22nd. I never take days off, but I’ve put in for a sub and will leave board games and summer reading for my kids.

I wish the MCPS parents who perpetually complain could direct their vitriol at MSDE and the State Superintendent for being so unreasonable about giving waivers for extreme weather conditions.[/quote]

There's a regulation for waivers. You need to make up three days. That's not too much to expect.

Why would you schedule a vacation on scheduled make-up days? Particularly when it was obvious we would need them?[/quote]

If all the teachers want to vacation or start new jobs, they could have told their union to allow McPS to use the makeup days agreed on the calendar: Wednesday April 15. Instead they blocked it.  Not sure why anyone has makeup days on the calendar if MCPS won’t use them.

Instead the union is playing chicken and hoping a waiver will come and McPS staff will get extra days off paid at the expense of instructional time for kids.[/quote]

+1 this.  I do not understand at all why there are makeup days on the calendar that no one wants to use.  The March Eid day maybe I get it but April 15 on a Wednesday.  Just hold school.  No wonder Maryland didn’t want to give McPS a waiver.[/quote]
