Charles County Public Schools (CCPS) and the Board of Education of Charles County would like input on the 2024-2025 school calendar. The Board of Education approves the school calendar one to two years in advance.
At the April 11 Board meeting, staff presented three draft calendar options for the Board’s consideration. The options are posted on the CCPS website at https://www.ccboe.com/parents/2024-2025-school-calendar-survey. The website also includes a link to a calendar survey. CCPS encourages parents, staff, students and community members to provide feedback through the survey on the proposed calendar options.
The Board will review survey feedback at its May 9 meeting and is expected to take action on the 2024-2025 calendar proposals at its meeting in June.
The options include an August start date for students, winter and spring break days, and early dismissal dates for students. Early dismissal dates in both options are scheduled for contracted teaching planning, interim and report card preparation time. None of the options include the addition of inclement weather dates. A question on the survey features preferences on inclement weather dates.
The calendar proposals also include 180 student attendance days and 190 contracted teacher workdays. Click here to review the calendar options and take the survey. The calendar drafts, as well as the survey, are available in both English and Spanish. Deadline to complete the survey is 11:59 p.m., Monday, May 1.
