[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think adding 15 minutes a day will be enough.

If the goal is to make up 5 days, at 6.75 hours / day (for MS and HS), you're looking at nearly 34 hours. Only doing 15 minutes / day is 1.25 hours a week.

The State has clearly said they'll grant waivers but want to see something earnest with regard to a make-up plan. The only way you can make up that many days is to make up some days, not minutes here & there. There could be a combination of days + minutes, but it isn't going to be done just based on 15 minutes at a time.

I know the state isn't, but MCPS likely is, so they would probably make their plan something that involves ending school on June 13.  They have 6 days to make up.  Adding June 13 leaves 5 days.  They wouldn't be able to make up the 34 hours, but they could do 10 with the 15 extra minutes, and asked for the rest to be waived. Adding Memorial Day, too.  My point is that MCPS will likely get SOME of the time waived.[/quote]
