I think they go virtual after so many days.


That would be a departure from Reid saying “eliminating virtual learning days will enable us to maximize our in-person learning and provide for equitable access to instruction and student services for each and every one of our students.”

Hope she enjoys telling teachers to work in July.


The school year hasn’t been extended in decades, if they fall below the quota, then they asked for permission from VDOE. I think that’s been done two times in the past 10 years and VDOE he has approved it.

Based on the temps, FCPS will be closed on Friday.
We've gone through this before.

This is an exaggeration. Current high school juniors had the school year extended when they were in kindergarten. So, eleven years ago. Not, "decades"

You think Youngkin is going to get FCPS get away with blaming him for the early release and then waive the instructional
hours? I think he’ll take the opportunity to punish them.

They can't go in July-sorry to burst that bubble.


They have to do the hours…and she got rid of the snow days for the asinine early release which spreads a three day training into May… so either she’s going to need to get her central office staff out there shoveling, end early release, or continue the school year later.


There are 10 snow days built in. Our kids will be fine.


Mad mommy wants to spew her nonsense


Mad mommy loves snow days (and frankly thinks we should be closed given the state of the roads), but enjoys seeing stupid decisions have immediate karmic repercussions. Turns out this was a bad year to get rid of snow days in an effort to curry favor with teachers.


Ok;) So you are still triggered by the state mandated trainings there is a whole thread on that you can continue being mad on.


No the state mandated training is fine. London and Richmond knocked them out in three days.

Reid turning a state mandated training into seven days off for teachers by reducing the number of snow days…and now realizing she might actually need those snow days for snow…that’s just comedy. The fact that she also went on record saying how inequitable virtual learning on snow days would be is icing on the cake.


Are you drunk? Elementary teachers have 7 EARLY RELEASE days to do the state-mandated trainings. That means that students are in school and are released three hours early. No one traded snow days for teachers to be off.

Also, virtual learning on snow days is a waste of time. The state won’t give credit for it as an actual school day, so why bother?

Please stop drinking or just being stupid.


SEVEN half days?! That’s even more stupid! Whoever made that a thing should be fired!

Stop being rude to parents of the Hayfield football team. They may not live in Fairfax, but show some respect.

Is it 7 days?
If they are doing trainings, why do you say it is “seven days off for teachers”?


It’s seven days without meaningful instruction/classroom time.

The rest of the state did it in three days. FCPS was the only place that needed seven. Which again is only funny in this context because **obviously** we didn’t need snow days….oops.


Ok laugh and enjoy your comedy..... but trust me in this rich entitled county no one is going to school in July...sorry Mom. The parents have already planned their big European vacations and that is truth.


Contrary to urban legend about having summer vacation because of farmers’s children, summer vacation was created because so many rich people left for the summer.

They really should be making the teachers do the trainings this week so elementary kids can have those days back.

That’s not a bad idea— the teachers aren’t taking busses to work and presumably could do the training in the schools/central office which have been properly cleared.

Wasn’t it extended one day?

This was discussed like 100 pages ago, the trainings aren’t available/created yet.
