[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was a time all Maryland Public schools started AFTER Labor Day. Why do they need so many professional days after the start of the school year? Couldn't all the training take place before the kids start school to eliminate the need to keep inching the start date further into August? Seriously, why do they need a professional day on September 12th? [/quote] They don't need one on September 12. The Board has agreed to acknowledge the Muslim holiday that will occur on September 12 of this year and they decided to make it a Professional Day for staff instead of closing schools completely. However, it takes a lot of time to set up classrooms (esp at the elementary level) plus sit through all of the meetings and trainings that mcps seems as mandatory for that week, so the 5 days are necessary in August. Other professional days are scheduled at the end of each quarter for grading and reporting. [/quote]
