The choice MCPS has had to make is the direct result of a series of school closures due to weather, namely because of heavy snow. Despite already being only four days, it is now a possibility that spring break may be shortened if there are any more snow days. The reduction of spring break as a possibility and the extension of the school year have some students thinking about the topic of breaks and school scheduling.
There is some controversy surrounding the scheduling itself. In , Maryland governor Larry Hogan issued an executive order stipulating that public schools in the state start no sooner than Labor Day, while also ending no later than June According to the Washington Post , Governor Hogan publicly declared opposition to the bill on social media platform Facebook, where he said:. Governor Hogan has put forth his intention to put the bill to a referendum, in order to have Marylanders cast their votes on it.

Nicole Torres-Rivera , Reporter May 31, Winter break and Spring break are both also a time for students to kick back and relax, but lately, both Winter and Spring break have been getting shorter because of mostly snow.
Many students say that they would like to have a shorter Summer break so that they can have a longer Winter and Spring break. With Spring break potentially adding couple more days to make it 10 days of break instead of 6 starting April 6 and ending April This will make the school year start on September 3 and ending the school year on the 15 of June.
Public Schools is the Montgomery County area have their Winter break usually starting on December 22 and ending after the New Year, with this is only allows students a week off school for their holiday break and for their Spring break this year students were off school for 4 days in the April Month on days 17 because of the many snow closures this cut 2 days off their Spring break.
While others have their thoughts on Summer break some might not want new changes as it might not be necessary for the students. With MCPS considering this idea for possible future school years for the students is because MCPS has heard from families that they liked how the calendar was like bad then with Spring break being back to original 10 days long instead of 6.
With the thought of having a shorter Summer which will make the break for both Spring and Winter longer this might not be the safest thing for the students as they are still in the school year and with the long break this might have them forget some information.
With the talk about Summer break, some might just want things to just be the same as changing the system might just have more problems to come for everyone needs to then get comfortable with the schedule and might just cause chaos.
