[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You would need to change state law, which requires that Good Friday and Easter Monday be system closures.

We are a state founded by Catholics!  Have some respect for history.  [/quote]

Plenty of other states' school districts are able to have a four day weekend around Easter AND have another full week for spring break. It can be done.[/quote]

And, are you willing to volunteer as a sub when Jewish teachers want the day off for their religious holidays.  MCPS isn't being nice about giving other religions the days off, they do it as they don't have staffing.[/quote] I don't know what is the BIG deal with ONE extra day off in normal years (2025-26 has many days off so that isn't a normal year). Schools don't save two days for having spring break the week before Easter, just one. I get that 2025-26 is hard and it is still manageable to have spring break with Easter although [b]they should have gone with the week after but they never choose after even when there is an early Easter.[/b][/quote]

Sure they do. Here's one example of spring break being the week after Easter:

The earliest years since are 2018 and 2024 with 2021 next earliest.
Easter 2027 is a week before 2021 so they would need to at least take the week after just to mimic the 2021 break.[/quote]
