[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a risk that MCPS will use days over Spring Break?[/quote]

I think the risk is very low but not zero. This situation is unprecedented where we have used so many snow days already, so few built in snow days, no option for virtual, so many calendar-identified “make up” days that are fraught a bit if we try to actually use them, and some recent precedent of the state denying waivers. In every other year we had better options. I would personally use pretty much every other option before touching spring break. [b]You lose a lot of trust if you publish a calendar with identified make up days and then decide to use different days with minimal notice [/b](Spring Break is in less than 2 months), when many students and staff should be able to count on being making plans without consequence.

Exactly this. I think parents will be really confused if MCPS decides to tack on 3+ days in June instead of using the makeup days, and eating into Spring Break instead of doing that would be incomprehensible. [/quote]
