HCPS Announces Last Day of School
Harford County Public Schools revised the 2012–2013 academic calendar.
The final day of school in Harford County will be later than originally planned, Harford County Public Schools (HCPS) announced. Each year, the Maryland Department of Education requires students to be in school for 180 days. Since HCPS missed four days so far in the 2012–2013 school year due to weather, students will have more school days in June than originally anticipated. Without any inclement weather days, the 2012–2013 school year was slated to end June 11 for most students and June 6 for prekindergarten. However, HCPS canceled school on January 28 due to a wintry mix and on Oct. 29, 30 and 31 due to Hurricane Sandy. As a result, HCPS canceled staff development day on Tuesday, April 30. Students would have had that day off; it will …
