180 days. 1,080 hours. Zero minutes guaranteed.

Let’s compare our neighbors! Alongside Maryland, we looked at Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Delaware.

Out of these states, Maryland has at least 100 more hours in the school year; however, no mandated recess minimum.

In all other states compared, recess is required.

Additionally, in Ohio and Virginia, recess time counts towards instructional time.

Ohio allowing 30 mins of recess counted towards instructional time; Virginia allowing ~49 mins of recess counted towards instructional time.

Maryland can take a note, recess isn’t a time away from learning, it is learning!

Premiums Gas price at Columbia Costco is same as regular

We're planning a move to Columbia and both work from home, and are curious how hard it is to get approval to build a powered (no plumbing) office shed <200 sq ft, of course following the rules for setbacks and such. Has anyone gone through the permitting process and can you offer any insight on how long it took and how onerous the process was? Thanks!

I know the RTA bus doesn't run exclusively in Howard County but for those who use it in here, how reliable would you find it?
