[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who do we contact to advocate for the state legislation to count instructional hours vs. days? This extra WEEK will cost our county so. much. money for the benefit of so few who will actually attend the week of 6/22 (with ridiculous half days 6/24 and 6/25!?).

"As a result, extending the school year is the only option (at this time) that ensures MCPS meets state instructional requirements. However, our Montgomery County state legislative delegation in the State General Assembly is working on a bill that would provide relief by allowing school systems to meet a minimum number of instructional hours instead of having to make up all the days. Good news! MCPS already exceeds the minimum hours requirement each year and this year is no exception. We currently meet the required learning hours as set forth by the state department of education. Special thanks to our state legislative partners from Montgomery County for supporting our schools and our families. If the bill passes successfully, we will re-adjust the end of the school year."[/quote]

Can someone please send the names of the state legislature/general assembly members to contact. As per Taylor (in yesterday's meeting), each day MCPS stays open costs 2 million per day in taxpayer money.[/quote]
