Contingency days they won't use, because the union will throw a shit fit[/quote]

Some of the contingency days are so early in the year they are unusable. How are we starting a week earlier and still ending on June 16? What a mess.[/quote]

We're starting a day earlier, not a week earlier. This year: August 26-June 17. Next year: August 25-June 16.[/quote]

That start date is two weeks before Labor Day - this year, the school year started one week before. [/quote]

Yeah, but that's because Labor Day is a week later.[/quote]
2020-21 went August 31-June 16 the last time Labor Day was September 7. Some of this is the 2 Muslim holidays but September 11 and April 21 are silly as Rosh Hashana is on a weekend and the day before Passover doesn't warrant a day off.[/quote]

They were very clear in all the calendar sessions this year at the Board that they wanted to move it a week earlier. I definitely expected this calendar to pass.[/quote] Those additional holidays are the reasons why. Maryland law is way too inflexible![/quote]

I think it's consistent to have the first day of school be the last Tuesday in August. Doesn't matter when Labor Day is.[/quote] Well come 2027-28 do you think the first day will be August 24 or 31? I would say it should be the latter but I'd bet on the former. The last time the schools opened later then the previous year was in 2017 due to Hogan. Outside of the Hogan requirement years it was 1 week before Labor Day but with the extra holidays it has to sometimes be 2 weeks or they'll end after Juneteenth.[/quote]

DP. 31/“st is way too late given how many random days off we give over the year. [/quote]
