Howard County was denied roo. No surprise MCPS was also. I wish we would implement more half days as the last days. In MS and HS, the kids just want to use the last full days to run amok.

I don’t understand why people get so excited about this topic. No new instruction will occur. If you have other plans continue with them as planned.

State law requires there to be no school on Monday after Easter.

So stupid. They should use the contingency days within the school year. But apparently that was never really an option.

Right after they announce what they plan to do about safety measures in high schools.

Of course it wasn’t. We didn’t use the days we had built into the calendar, a requirement for the waiver to be approved.

I would assume only the last day of school is a half day. That's how it's always been.
