Mid-Winter Break!!!!!!!!!
That's what occurs this very week in some of the northeast!

It's finally come to Maryland albeit unplanned............................. Oh [b]never mind [/b]THANKS MARYLAND LAW![/quote]

As long as there is a good side to the law[/quote]

This isn't a good side. Going from January 2-April 11 without longer than a 3-day weekend is horrible!
Three breaks that are a week or longer with winter break being 2 weeks is the way to do it. If it's more than some of that time could be better off saved for summer. If it's less it's too long a stretch either before or after spring break. Schools in the south have spring break in March but they end in May or very early June. Those schools start in early to mid-August and have the week of Thanksgiving off as a result. Schools that end in mid-late June should have a week off in February and April since only April makes the winter a long slog and only March results in the final 11 or 12 weeks with only 2 certain days off. The really strange thing in Maryland (and Northern Virginia) is that spring break isn't at a fixed time but determined based on when Good Friday and Easter occurs. This year it's mid-late April (April 14-21) but next year it starts in March (March 30-April 6). In 2027 things are really crazy as Good Friday is March 26/Easter March 28 so either they'll go with the week after Easter like they used to in early Easter years or the post spring break stretch in 2027 will be SUPER LONG with 12 weeks and possibly only 2 or 3 days off in that stretch![/quote]
