[quote=Anonymous]Just for reference, this is how AACPS is proposing to handle it:

As recommended by a majority of the committee, the calendar calls for classes to begin on Tuesday, September 4, 2018, and end on Friday, June 14, 2019.

The calendar maintains adjustments made in the 2017-2018 school year that reduced Easter/Spring Break to three days. It also, requires opening of schools on three additional days to compensate for:

The fact that Yom Kippur falls on a weekday (Wednesday, September 19, 2018; it fell on the weekend in the current school year)
Election Day, which falls on November 6, 2018
The fact that June 15, 2019, is a Saturday, meaning schools must close no later than June 14, 2019

To compensate for these three days, the Calendar Committee is recommending the following adjustments:

- Elimination of second marking period Parent-Teacher Conference, leaving conferences in the first and third marking periods
- Opening schools for students on the day of the Maryland State Education Association convention (October 19, 2018)
- Reducing the number of inclement weather days from three to two, and designating the third inclement weather day as the day following Easter (requires MSDE waiver if needed)

The two inclement weather days may really bite them in the end, but the rest seems reasonable.[/quote]
