[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can live with this proposal. However, I don’t think he’s playing 3 dimensional chess. I think he proposed a crazy idea and then got some serious blowback. After the Wootton vote, maybe he wasn’t willing to die on this hill. But he sure does love that transition day, huh?
I think the biggest problem I have with this whole thing is the lack of building consensus. Seems to be part of a bigger trend. Leadership is not about persuading a group of people with diverse views to agree on common ground, but to make fast decisions and push them through as quickly as possible.
Anyways, glad to see the change be something I mostly agree with.[/quote]

It's not really a significant change from the status quo. Prepare for more calendar drama next year. The last day of school in 2027 will be Friday June 11. If there is more than 1 snow day and they decline to have school on either Passover or Eid they will have to extend the school year into the week of June 14 when staff and families will have booked travel, camps, jobs etc. [/quote]

Or, they could go virtual and stop being selfish. [/quote]

Per Maryland statute, the superintendent may decide to provide a day of virtual education (not less than four hours of synchronous instruction) [b]only if MCPS has used all the days incorporated into its calendar for school closures for severe weather conditions.[/b][/quote]
