[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are they already asking for a waiver of half the days?  For all we know, we will get more snow days this month.[/quote]
Because they didn’t do a good job planning and put only 1 snow day in the calendar even though we had 4 snow days last year.
Because they didn’t do a good job planning and there’s only 1 snow day scheduled in next year’s calendar.  
Because they didn’t do a good job planning and didn’t didn’t submit the virtual learning plan for weather emergencies that Maryland requires, and that other school districts did prepare.

You sense a theme here…[/quote] It's hard to put more than 2 snow days in the calendar based on the number of holidays and 4 post MP teacher only days. They did sacrifice 1 though from the transition day but besides that Maryland law is difficult in building in days unless you want even shorter summers. One thing that Maryland law DOES allow is virtual days after all built in days (minimum 3) are used. They couldn't go virtual on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday but Friday and Monday could have been. That said Prince George's is in the same boat since they had 3 days built in but closed on 7 days so MC isn't alone.[/quote]
