The goal isn’t to align it to Easter, the goal is to align it to the other counties’ calendar.

If FCPS released their calendar first, they wouldn't have this problem. Just saying. FCCPS is the only one that released a multi-year calendar. About 3 FCPS teachers live in FCCPS, they'll manage.

I agree. It sounds selfish but honestly, we are the 'big dog' in terms of school population. If we have to deal with the downsides of being so large we should also reap the benefits like setting the calendar and letting the smaller surrounding districts either match up or not. But it seems the vast majority of FCPS teachers with kids in school have kids in FCPS schools.

A few years ago, FCPS released a draft calendar, and the surrounding school districts copied it. Then FCPS changed it. This was the first year they toyed with adding all the holidays, and the surrounding districts added in all the holidays, then FCPS started the ridiculous O day nonsense.

I don't think the surrounding districts will copy or wait for FCPS anymore.
