[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In places I have lived before, they have the opposite solution: only have winter break over Christmas and separate spring break from any holidays at all. Don't get off any other religious holidays. The end. [/quote]

That is what all non-secular private schools do.  End of 3rd quarter is Spring Break in late March, which makes sense. Most of the time it does not line up with Passover or Easter.

Not sure why MCPS can't do this.  Oh wait, that is right.  The stupid state rule of Good Friday and Easter Monday for public schools.  I am a Catholic and find it ridiculous and I personally don't want my Spring Break around Easter nor do I want the kids out of school for 11 straight days.  Take your kids out of school if Good Friday is that important for your family.  Easter Monday? Completely made up.  [/quote]

+1 and also Catholic.  The week and a half for spring break is ridiculous.

I don't understand all the whining about starting after Labor Day.  Our kids get a ton of random days off so this proposal will allow is to tighten up our calendar.  [/quote]
