[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um, MCEA doesn't make these announcements. This isn't official so don't go changing any vacation plans. What a joke.[/quote]

They're not supposed to, yet they did. [b]Even though they presumably know that they're legally prohibited from negotiating on the school calendar. [/b]But that is obviously what happened here.

But no one is going to go after MCEA for that because they've got the largest political action committee in the county.[/quote]

Where is this legal prohibition?[/quote]

[b]Maryland Education Code § 6-408, Subsection (a)(3)[/b]
"A public school employer may not negotiate the school calendar, the maximum number of students assigned to a class, or any matter that is precluded by applicable statutory law."

I believe this provision was added to explicitly address a situation that arose between MCEA and MCPS where MCEA was previously improperly negotiating on the calendar in the 1980s. See: Montgomery Co. Ed. Ass'n v. Bd. of Educ, 311 Md. 303, 534 A.2d 980 (Md. 1987)
