From Harford County Public Schools:
Interim State Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Jack R. Smith, approved the request made by Harford County Public Schools (HCPS) for a two-day waiver of the 180-day school year requirement for students. HCPS has been closed a total of eight days this school year for inclement weather.
HCPS proactively built 11 potential inclement weather days into the calendar, including three days in March: March 21, 2016 and March 22, 2016 that were previously teacher professional development days, and March 23, 2016 that was previously a spring break day. These three days became regular school days.
Unless additional modifications to the school calendar become necessary, the last day for students in grades K-11 is Wednesday, June 15, 2016; the last day for students in Pre-K is Monday, June 13, 2016.
The official last day for teachers and 10-month instructional support employees is three days later, Monday, June 20, 2016. This includes the two professional development make-up days and the final professional development day for the school year. However, during its April 25 business meeting, the Board of Education of Harford County approved Superintendent Canavan’s proposal to waive one professional development day from the calendar. Therefore, the last day for teachers and 10-month instructional support staff to report for duty is Friday, June 17, 2016. This information is available on the school system’s website, www.hcps.org.
Teachers just got about a $0.60/hour raise this school year! Unbelievable!
Eat shit
Sounds great! Go get certified and join in!! Let us know what getting certified is like.
Schools wouldn’t have missed 8 days due to weather if the county had a clue on how to properly clear the roads.
Looking forward to seeing you at the next council meeting where you will explain to all of us exactly what should have been done.
What will you be wearing? I wouldn’t want to miss you.
I’ll be sure to let you know when the day comes, as Iike to be a little spontaneous when it comes to my attire. Just post your email address or phone number and I’ll be in touch.
BTW…Baltimore County also closed for 8 days as did Howard County. I guess no one in those counties knows how to properly clear the roads either. Maybe you should tell them, since you seem to be the only one who knows the secret technique.
Facts are your friend. Balt and Howard county smoked HAHA county in removal.
Might I suggest a cute sundress for the meeting?

Not sure how this article shows that the other counties “smoked HAHA”. The article verifies that each of those counties were closed the same number of days as Harford County. Thanks for sharing.
Sundress? I’m sure you would like that. You seem like that kind of guy.
It might not be the way the roads are cared for. It’s more about liability. Schools have to err on the side of caution because should anything happen, lawyers would come out of the woodwork for their 1/3 of anything they can get. It’s safer and cheaper to shut down for the day.
