The Board of Education adopted the calendar for the 2015-2016 school year. The school year will begin on Monday, Aug. 31, 2015, and is scheduled to end on Friday, June 17, 2016. The board also adopted a contingency plan that would extend the school year until June 24, 2016, depending on how many days would be needed to make up for lost instructional time due to emergency closings. The calendar was developed in partnership with the Montgomery County Council of PTAs, the school district’s three employee associations, and the Montgomery County Region of the Maryland Association of Student Councils, as well as other community members and school system leadership.
