[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By using religious holidays as contingency days, they are setting themselves up for problems. They either need to use non-religious days or plan to go til end of June. [/quote]

If we only use non-religious days as the contingency plan, it would require using spring break as the contingency days. I am ok with that, but lots of people are not. The bottom line is that there is no way to fit in all the days that everyone wants to have off without going earlier at the start of the year or later at the end of the year. It is time to make some hard decisions for future years.

They could start earlier in the year and add more days into the calendar. And they could use the PD days like the end-of-quarter planning days, although some of these are already contingency days and MCPS refuses to use them too. [/quote]

+1. Start one week earlier in August and build in an appropriate number of snow days into the calendar, instead of just 1 so we don’t have this calendar chaos and half assed extra half days in June each year.  [/quote]

That is stupid.  Literally just stop giving so many snow days off.  That Monday off was ridiculous when all other counties in MD went to school.  And if they want to keep giving weeks off for inadequate snow removal, or a day off for flurries, they need to have virtual options set up and in place.  It's not that hard but MCPS is the most privileged and laziest county in Maryland [/quote]

There will always be MCPS staffers who howl that someone will DIE if they go to school while there is ice on the ground and that anyone who thinks schools should be open hate their children and want them dead.  Better to open a week earlier in August and build in more snow days since the risk tolerance in this district is so low.  [/quote]

Don’t forget the people who scream “school is not daycare” and “learn to parent your children” every time someone suggests that schools should be open 4 days after a snow storm.  [/quote]

Don’t forget the parents who scream “I have to wooooorrrrkkk!! My street is fiiiiine. Open just my rich kid’s school so I don’t have to be a parent!”[/quote]
