[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]There was a time all Maryland Public schools started AFTER Labor Day[/b]. 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] [b]When?[/b] Of course, there was also a time when all Maryland public schools were segregated. So I don't think that "people used to do it this way", by itself, is much of an argument for doing it that way now.[/quote] A long. LONG time ago. Like 2000. The MCPS web page lists calendars only going back to 2006-2007 school year, which began prior to Labor Day. I was new to MoCo in 2000 and think that was about when they changed. [/quote]
