Prince George’s County Public Schools – PGCPS Calendar 2023

Prince George’s County Public Schools – PGCPS Calendar 2023. Prince George’s County Public Schools is a large public school district administered by the government of Prince George’s County, Maryland, United States, and is overseen by the Maryland State Department of Education. The PGCPS Calendar Committee meets each year to develop a calendar for the following school year. Members include teachers, parents, school administrators, union representatives and central office staff.

Over the course of several meetings, the committee develops a draft calendar to share with the executive team. Once approved, the draft calendar is shared with families and employees for feedback through a survey. After final adjustments are made, the calendar is submitted to the Prince George’s County Board of Education for review and adoption.
