School year for Baltimore County schools shortened three days

Adjustment made for unused emergency closing time

TOWSON, MD. (April 24, 2008) - The school year for Baltimore County's public school students will end on Wednesday, June 11, 2008 - three days earlier than originally scheduled. (The 2007-2008 school year had been scheduled to end on Monday, June 16, 2008.)

The schedule for the final days of school will be as follows:

  • Monday, June 9 - All schools will remain on a regular schedule; teachers on duty.
  • Tuesday, June 10 - Assessment Day for all schools. All schools will close three hours early for students; teachers on duty.
  • Wednesday, June 11 - Final day of classes for students and teachers - All schools will close three hours early; teachers on duty.

    Baltimore County Public Schools officials traditionally decide whether or not to alter the calendar in late April.

    The adjustment to the 2007-2008 school calendar, announced at the April 22 meeting of the Baltimore County Board of Education, allows BCPS to shorten the school year due to planned but unused emergency closing time.
