Anne Arundel County Public Schools propose an earlier start date for the 2026-2027 school year, potentially impacting summer plans. The new calendar, if approved, would begin on August 19th and end on June 11th, a week earlier than the current year. This change is due to a state law allowing the district to focus on instructional hours. The proposal has sparked mixed reactions, with some parents concerned about disrupted childcare and shortened vacations, while others welcome the change. The board will discuss and vote on the calendar at their December 3rd meeting.
