[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should have closed. Bad calls all around.[/quote]

I think that they would have closed, if there had been more than 2 snow days in the schedule, which was not possible thanks to the wishes of the Ocean City Chamber of Commerce.[/quote]

Nope, MCPS is entirely to blame on this one. Howard County manages to make the schedule work, including a full week for spring break, under the same rules. Why cant' MCPS pull it off?

Note that in spring last yea, SB729 was passed, allowing schools to extend the calendar up to 5 days past 6/15 without a waiver. HoCo took advantage of this, MCPS did not.

What does HCPS do about the calendar that MCPS doesn't do? What does MCPS do about the calendar that HCPS doesn't do? Please be specific.[/quote]

MCPS: last day of school 6/14, no provision for extending due to snow days. Half-week for Spring Break (Wednesday-Friday, then Monday as mandated by law). 4/17-4/22

HCPS: last day of school 6/17, extendable to 6/21 due to snow days. Full week for spring break (6 schooldays), 6/13-6/22.

But why can HoCo extend to 6/21 and MoCo has to finish the week before?[/quote]
