[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was it all a fake-out? If this had been the original recommendation there probably would have been a lot of grumbling about day before Thanksgiving or maybe something else.

Was the 1st recommendation just to make us see this as vastly superior, or am I giving him too much credit?[/quote]

I think he was trying to get the union to negotiate on the grading and planning days, and it didn't work.[/quote]

Seems that way.  It’s a stupid calendar because McPS has no intention of using the Passover and Eid teacher non instructional days as makeup days and if there is more than one snow day (which there probably will be) we’ll soon be back at the situation where McPS has to ask for a waiver again to approve them not providing 180 days of school to our kids.

Except MCPS is even more flagrantly ignoring state regulations and guidance related to calendars and make-up days. They need a:
"school calendar that provides either for three identified inclement weather and natural/civil disaster
make-up days followed by a plan for virtual instruction if additional instructional days are lost due to
weather, or for six identified inclement weather and natural/civil disaster make-up days"[/quote]
