[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By using religious holidays as contingency days, they are setting themselves up for problems. They either need to use non-religious days or plan to go til end of June. [/quote]

If we only use non-religious days as the contingency plan, it would require using spring break as the contingency days. I am ok with that, but lots of people are not. The bottom line is that there is no way to fit in all the days that everyone wants to have off without going earlier at the start of the year or later at the end of the year. It is time to make some hard decisions for future years.

They could start earlier in the year and add more days into the calendar. And they could use the PD days like the end-of-quarter planning days, although some of these are already contingency days and MCPS refuses to use them too. [/quote]

I guarantee the county would be upset if schools opened up while the Agricultural Fair is in session.  They invest a TON of money into the fair and the fairgrounds and if everyone is in school they will lose a ton[/quote]

So what? MCPS is not the county gov't.[/quote]

They do not work independently of each other for the most part.  [/quote]
Sure they do.  I was required to go to jury duty on the Thursday after the Sunday storm.  County offices were open.  Just not MCPS.  If MCPS wants to be special, it shouldn’t care about the ag fair…[/quote]

The county uses like 40 school busses for fair operation from like 10 am -10 pm.  Thats going to go over well with school in session [/quote]
