  1. Dear Superintendent Lowery,

    As a parent of a Montgomery County student, I’m writing to respectfully ask you not to grant a waiver for the additional five days that Montgomery County Public Schools is obliged to add to the year. The law holds that school children must go to school 180 days a year and I believe it is important to uphold the law for two important reasons. First, since the children have missed ten full days of school and have had four two-hour delays, their learning environment has been severely compromised. They should go the extra week so that they can fully cover the curriculum. Second, you should uphold the law to send the children the message that school matters. I feel like our state should be an advocate for education and I think it sends the wrong message to our children when our school leadership asks to waive a law and allow for so many missed days.

    Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Please do NOT grant the waiver.

    Respectfully,
