During a work session on April 16, the Board of Education discussed proposed amendments to the 2026-2027 school year calendar. Due to a Maryland State Board of Education requirement that public school systems end their school year by June 18, 2027, the Board will need to amend the school calendar. Changes could affect: religious observances, the shortening of winter and/or spring break, or potentially beginning the school year earlier in August.
MCPS is asking for community input on these changes. Please fill out this survey and make your voice heard! The Board will take final action at its business meeting on April 30.
