[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're gonna need a lot of makeup days. I anticipate losing some days in spring break.[/quote]

Right now they need 4 since last Monday wasn't going to be a student day and Tuesday was their one freebie. They'll have to makeup Wednesday-today.
The could go with Feb 16, 17, March 20 and April 15 and avoid days at the end if no more days are cancelled. That said what are the chances that there are no more cancelations? Gotta start with the two days in February and give people that have to be out excused absences.[/quote]

This would make the most sense.

But the Feb 16-17 days aren’t designated as makeup days.  Far more likely they do march 20, April 15, June 18 and then keep adding on in June days.  Far more useful to have makeup days not at the end of June if you want teachers to actually teach, I just don’t think it’s likely that McPS uses Feb 16-17.[/quote]

Feb 16th/Presidents Day is typically prohibited from being a makeup day by the state, but MSDE just approved making it an option for school districts this year.[/quote]

I can't imagine them doing that when there are other actually designated makeup days available.[/quote]

MCPS missed 5 school days after Monday (which was scheduled to be off).  1 was a designated snow day, so fine.

The other four missed says are not snow days.  There are only 3 makeup days in calendar.  March 20, April 15 and June 18.  I think they use those 3 first and apply for a waiver so they don’t make up the 4th snow day.

And if more snow/sleet/ice comes in Feb or March, I bet they do the same as last year and just add a bunch of half days in June but hint that kids shouldn’t come because for teachers rhe school year is done [/quote]

There re a bunch of make up days in June. They will use those, making them half days. That is what they always do.

The won’t be ble to get a waiver becauee they will fail to use the earlier days. Have to use all makeup days to get a waiver.[/quote]
