Yet another survey sent out and school board makes decisions last night before survey even closes.

“We are asking community to let us know, but even before we hear from them, we’re making a decision,” Ilryong Moon, an at-large member, said. “I don’t know what you are doing. Why can’t we wait until we get the survey results, which may confirm what you are trying to do, rather than doing it tonight?” |

| LOL This is so ridiculous. Let’s ask families what they want and then totally ignore it because we are making decisions before the survey is even closed. |

| Looks like TW/SP days are on the block |

| So basically they voted not to change anything except taking away Veterans Day as a holiday. Great job FCPS! |

180 days which prioritizes five day weeks and only recognizes six holidays means Reid will need to put TW/SP days on either religious or federal holidays if she wants to comply with the guidance. |

Veterans Day has been a school day for most of the recent past. And it was great because the kids actually learned about a veterans. |

| They're all liars!!! You have to email them to voice your discontent. They don't care about survey results. |

I don’t disagree with making it a school day again as it was in the past. I’m more just pointing out that they voted to change nothing else despite public outcry. If they keep all those religious holidays and the mandatory 2 weeks for winter break and the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and 2 TW/SP days at the end of every quarter … it’s only going to be a matter of time before we get another bad calendar like there was this year. Next school year and I believe the one after that have the religious holidays mostly falling on weekends. |

That has to be partly why they are doing this. The calendar gives them a break for a couple of years so they don't have to address the holiday problem right now. |

This will be at odds with the 5 day week so theyll have to double them up with federal/religious holidays |

| WTH! This is maddening to entirely ignore the survey and also just rubber stamp the same system everyone is complaining about right now |

| Which members voted to move this ahead? |

| Nothing changes. They voted to end school before Juneteenth. It already was ending before June 19. They voted not to start 2 weeks before Labor Day. They have started exactly 2 weeks before Labor Day for the last couple of years, so no change there. They voted to keep 2 weeks winter break, thanksgiving and spring break. No changes. It preserves 6 religious holidays and observes all federal holidays except Veterans Day. So no changes there either. |
