| Far too many. FCPS doesn't give a hoot about education. |

| 6 BUT we would've gotten 8 If the semester ended a week earlier than when it did. |

| I’m not keeping count, but we have 11ish built into the schedule for exactly this reason. So what is the complaint? |

Kids need more time off, 41 days is not enough |

| Wait, Election Days aren't unplanned are they? Aren't those on the calendar from the beginning? |

The November one was off in advance the September one just came at random and now April 21 is another random election day. https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/15/1316931.page That breaks the longest stretch of 6 FULL WEEKS although it will still be the longest stretch with 4 full weeks as the previous longest stretch was the 3 weeks in December. |

The complaint is someone just wants to whine and complain and needs a reason to fuel their rage. |

The complaint is that the already extended year is a week longer this year. Despite starting August 18 the last day isn't till June 17! If those random election days were on there in advance it wouldn't end until June 18 or 19. |
