It didn’t need to be this way but too many people just blindly accept whatever the school board does, because they aren’t Republican and we have to always do the opposite of whatever Republicans would do regardless of whether it make sense or not.


Or some of us with older kids LIKE that there are days off throughout the school year to allow our kids to sleep in and breathe a little. I’m a fan of year round school so it’s okay with me if the kids have less time to forget everything they learned.


No one with older kids likes this ridiculous schedule. All the high school families bi$# about it

Getting out so late in June is terrible for high school students.


LOL, so narrow minded. We like the current schedule. Somehow, we're able to grapple with the concept that other people have preferences different than our own, which is a perspective we try to cultivate in our children as well.

Still shouldn't go to June 17 with an August 18 start. Falls Church also started today but gets out June 5. Salem, Virginia started today too they finish on MAY 28!
