This survey is such a waste of time and energy. They make you pick between bad and worse options when they know full well what they are going to do.

I agree with you all, the half days are the worst, and I like the suggestion of the PP to make them late start! Instead of the week of Thanksgiving or a longer winter break, I’d rather have a full week Feb break during President’s Day.

You are so right about MCPS. I love that the kids are in school on Columbus Day while I have the day off!

Agree with both PPs! I was hoping that they were would be a section at the end where I could have added a request to minimize the number of early release days."

I too would love if we had a full week in February off, but that doesn't seem to be part of the proposal?

I would hate this!!

Agreed. I understand the necessity if there's bad weather/driving conditions but not as a half day

+2. But to be clear, I don't think MCPS is considering this.

Teens might enjoy the sleep. It would be tough on the littles and their parents, though.
