I would be ok with school starting in the begining of August, but have lots of long weekends built in the school year. Infact having 4 day weeks would be really great, as long as schools also allow for daycare facility for the 5th day for working parents.

Can't let our kids academic needs be ignored because Ocean City needs a boost. No one is going in the polluted oceans with jellyfish, sharks and deadly infectious bacteria...

The will follow the new law. Maybe you missed that.

"As a result of legislative action in last spring’s Maryland General Assembly, school districts in Maryland have the authority again to start school before Labor Day and end the school year after June 15th."

I voted for #2 also. I don't really care about inauguration day but I think it should be an excused absence if parents want to take their children to see it. I think that was the policy back when I was a kid. My dad took me once in middle school and it was memorable.
