[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids will be there but they are in high school and middle school so more of an issue to miss.

I wish they would revise the calendar now that they are allowed to make up snow days after June 15.  I think that they should give them Monday and Tuesday off and have no built in snow days.[/quote]
They could move June 14th but wouldn’t they still be short a day? Is a revision possible at this point with the new ruling?[/quote]

I'm the geek who has mentioned watching BOE meetings online.

Prior to the law that the state legislature just enacted this spring, the complication was that the state board interpreted Hogan's XO  as the contingency days had to be prior to June 15. In 2019, June 15 is on a Saturday, so essentially June 14 was the drop dead date. There is some law/rule in COMAR that says school districts have to have days they can add to the end of the calendar, which means June 14 must be a contingency day.

I don't think the new provision that allows school systems to extend beyond June 15 will impact COMAR where it says systems have to have a day to add on at the end of the school year.  I might be wrong. I've watched so much of this discussion to know there are a LOT of things at play. [/quote]
