At Tuesday’s Board of Education meeting, the Montgomery County BOE voted 7-1 to adopt a policy that will allow MCPS to shift to virtual instruction instead of canceling classes for traditional snow days. The policy went into effect immediately and covers the remainder of the current school year.
The BOE says the reason for possible virtual learning days is to prevent having to extend the school year.

Montgomery County Public Schools has released a survey about the possibility of virtual learning on days when schools are closed due to inclement weather. The survey must be completed by Monday, January 31 at noon.
Per the Maryland State Department of Education, all school systems are required to have at least 180 instructional days per year. With inclement weather, multiple school system closures may require adjustments to the school year calendar (e.g., extending the year, using other identified days). MCPS is planning for options that allow for virtual instruction on inclement weather closure days. While virtual instruction cannot replace time in the classroom, MCPS believes it is essential to continue to provide access to learning opportunities. Your feedback on this intent will help inform the district’s implementation plan.
