Can someone tell me why APS has two half days this week?

The 180 school day schedule has been pretty standard forever. That was what my school district followed 40 years ago. I don't think you can attribute that to APE.

Then what was APE screaming about when they pushed for more school days?

I don't know the background but if they were asking for more days, and days were added, and we're now at 180 days, I assume that APS had dropped below 180 days (which is a standard school year length).

Not sure what this has to do with having so many half days off.

Those days count as school days.

They also count as school days if they were full days.

School divisions are allowed to count by hours, I had assumed that's what APS had been doing. But they didn't like that so now we have a lot of half days where nothing gets done. Thanks, APE.
