[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These were the 6 contingency days. Ridiculous how early some of these were.

If the school year is disrupted by emergencies and schools are closed three or more days, dates identified as possible make-up instructional days include: October 17 and November 3, 2025; January 26, March 20, April 15, June 18, June 22, June 23, June 24, June 25 and June 26, 2026.[/quote]

They don't need two in the fall.  One is sufficient in case of something great.

It's a moot point though when they refuse to use the days they identify[/quote]

Keep in mind that, during the snow emergency, the state granted a blanket waiver for any and all MD school systems to make up a snow day on President's Day.  MCPS refused to do so.  If they had made up that day and used 3/20, they could have ended on 6/18.  There is a caveat in the law that states that if the extension of school by 3 days ends school on a Monday, the state will be an exception for that, which would have very likely happened if they had used those days within the calendar.  They could have also likely gotten approval to make up a day on 3/17.[/quote]

I am sure BOE did not want people to go to school on President's Day because it messed up a 4 day weekend. March 20 is a religious holiday. What is March 17? I thought we already have school on that day.[/quote]
