[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like they really listened to community concerns that this wasn't enough lead time to make these changes but we should expect an earlier start date the following year. [/quote] The 2017-18 tentative calendar that was put forth at the 11/10 meeting did have the first day of school 2 weeks prior to Labor Day. MCPS said they wished to have an additional school year to implement for facilities (mainly) and not have back-to-back years of major systemwide change (i.e., bell times this year and earlier than usual start date next year). [/quote] That seems like reasonable notice. Changing for this coming year was not. [/quote] 2 weeks prior? Wow. Not a fan!!! That is a start date of Monday Aug 21st and preview days in the week of late teens? And high school sports starting Aug 3rd or 7th? All of these days off are ridiculous. [/quote]
