As reported in the Bethesda Beat,

The board agreed to follow Governor Larry Hogan’s executive order signed in August that required all school districts to start school after Labor Day beginning with the 2017-2018 school year. Initially, the board had said it would seek a waiver and also developed options that included starting school before Labor Day, as in past years.
