Beyond MoCo

On the heels of the Howard County Public School System approving one additional early release day each month from December through May, Anne Arundel County Public Schools Superintendent George Arlotto announced that he will formally recommend adding three early dismissal days for students to allow staff and students personal time to focus on their individual wellness.

Dr. Arlotto and his staff have been having discussions about the initiative for several weeks. The changes would require the Board of Education to alter the current school year calendar.
