Arrgh.  I hate this stupid Hogan calendar.   Nearly every other district in the country gets a full week off in the spring.[/quote]

Not Hogan’s calendar - the board of education selected a calendar within Hogan’s parameters. His parameters are not that difficult!  When you review their calendar options, I think the board picked a calendar that would annoy people.  It’s political. I also wonder if Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah, Eid, or Easter Monday should be mandatory holidays - would be nice to know the survey results, but I guess that will come in time.

For OP’s question - I’m not sure yet. We haven’t decided if we are going away for the whole week or just doing a long weekend somewhere. [/quote]
Hogan’s parameters are ridiculous and none of the options are good. You can’t blame the BOE.  [/quote]

We’re in PG county and have a week and a day for break and I’m pretty sure Howard county does too. So Hogan’s parameters aren’t to blame. [/quote]
When we lived in PGcounty, there wasn’t a large population of Jewish students and teachers. That accounts for at least a couple of the days. Does your calendar include Jewish holidays? [/quote]

PG county doesn’t close for Jewish holidays but Howard county does and they’re off for a full week of spring break. [/quote]
How do they not end by June 15? The last day is June 17. And it looks like they had to revise the calendar to get there after they changed the inclement weather policy. But I don’t know because I don’t follow Howard county.

They amended their already approved 18-19 calendar this spring once Hogan backtracked on his original executive order and allowed schools to go until June 22. They got a lot of negative feedback from schools and the community about the shortened spring break this year and the attendance on the 3 spring break days that wound up used as weather makeups was abysmal.
