Summer Begins a Day Early for Two Area Schools

Construction projects will force eight public schools, including Central Middle and Lothian Elementary, to end the school year one day early this year.

Anne Arundel County Public Schools said it received a waiver of the state's 180-school day requirement. For students at schools affected by construction, the last day of school will come on June 13. Those students will also open the school year one day late on Aug. 27.

Unless schools are forced to close for inclement weather again, the last day of school for students at all but the eight affected schools would be June 14.

The schools closing a day early are: 

• Annapolis High School
• Central and Severn River middle schools
• Crofton, Lothian, Mills-Parole, and Point Pleasant elementary schools 
• Phoenix Academy

All of the impacted schools are scheduled to undergo renovations or expansions during the summer.
