[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These calendars are ridiculous. I attended MCPS in the 90s and early 2000s, and now have a child in MCPS. I was like I swear we would start after Labor Day AND end before June 20th.

Sure enough that was true:

2001-2002: Started 9/4, ended 6/19 https://ww2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/press/index.aspx?pagetype=showrelease&id=378

1996-1997: Started 9/3, ended 6/19 https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/1996/08/22/montgomery-county-school-calendar/a3850623-9863-4ce3-840b-5158d8266ff3/

Then here's a year starting before Labor Day:
1994-1995: Started 8/30, ended 6/15 https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/1994/08/25/montgomery-county-public-schools-calendar-for-1994-95/efa9fc22-d1c8-4a11-819f-21f550af7d7f/

Finally I get to a year that resembles today:

2003-2004: Started 8/26, ended 6/16 https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/1994/08/25/montgomery-county-public-schools-calendar-for-1994-95/efa9fc22-d1c8-4a11-819f-21f550af7d7f/

Anyone know why those earlier years were able to start after LD and end around June 15, yet now they can't?[/quote]

It is primarily the cultural/religious celebrations that have been added.[/quote]
Adding a day to the calendar that you can’t count as an instructional day sure didn’t help, and to do it at the expense of a built in snow day is asinine.[/quote]
