[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the weird things with Maryland school calendars is when spring break occurs as it doesn't happen at the same point each year but borders Easter. In 2026 Easter two weeks earlier than 2025 but MoCo and PGCo still chose the week before Easter as spring break. In 2027 Easter is SUPER early so the break should not be the week before Easter. The best thing would be to hold the break either April 5-9 or April 12-16 as long as there is at least 1 fewer holiday off in 2026-27 than 2025-26 to offset the extra day needed by not bordering Easter.
Spring break should NOT be held before the 3rd quarter is over! [b]This post is being made because some DC teachers that live in MoCo or PGCo inflated the responses on to hold spring break based on MoCo and PGC so DC which usually holds spring break in April randomly put it on MARCH 22-26, 2027 [/b]despite that MoCo and PGCo have yet to post a 2026-27 calendar.
All three districts MoCo, PGCo and DC need to agree to hold spring break 2027 in the 1st or 2nd full week of April AFTER all 3 have ended the 3rd quarter.[/quote]
Weird. A DC resident posts that they’re upset that DCPS changed their calendar to align with MCPS’s, when they think it should be the other way around (MCPS should change their calendar to align with DCPS’s) and no one tells OP to take this up with DCPS? Why did OP even post in this forum?[/quote]
[b]Cause it should be taken up by MoCo and PGCo so spring break can be at a similar time regardless of Easter. [/b]
Spring break in April means it will actually feel like spring and you feel like the end of the year is around the corner. Spring break in March means ALL of APRIL through the last day without any break above a 3-day weekend.[/quote]
[b]Our spring break doesn’t impact you.[/b] DCPS’s spring break impacts you. The respondents to DCPS’s survey have spoken and the powers that be listened. I’m sorry you didn’t get the result you wanted, but it’s crazy to tell people living in multiple other districts that they should change their school calendars to suit your preferences so that DCPS can change their calendar back. 
[/quote] Well it sort of does because some people in DC came up with wanting to tie the DC break to your break. Since your 2026-27 calendar isn't I don't want spring break picked based on what some people think it will be based on the DC calendar. If you choose ANY other week that would most likely get DC to change theirs.[/quote]
