Big thing in MD is our governor, a Republican, is stating that all Schools must end by June 15th and cannot start until after Labor Day. He's been focusing on some populist things and claims that any disagreement is just Democrats being against him to be against him. Keeps saying he's the will of the people (17% of the state elected him).
The issue with this is that it extends summer by about 1.5 weeks. For most kids, this won't be a problem. For the at risk kids I teach, this means more issues with retention. He did so to increase tourism in the Eastern Shore which is one of his few strong holds. I think any education decision should be made because of education not business. Anyways, we're not even sure it's Constitutional in MD.
