Calendar details that affect days off
Baltimore County Public Schools
June 14 assumes no emergency closures; up to three make-up days extend the year through June 17. Recess boundaries below identify dismissal and return, rather than counting those as full days off.
Recess dates follow the linked calendars; adjacent staff days and holidays can extend a student's time away. “See official calendar” means that field has not been verified here. Recheck the source for revisions before arranging care or travel.
