What Cohen said at the start was that the feedback was overwhelmingly positive towards a 2 week winter break, so that pretty much eliminates any chance of either an late start or early end.
It'll start on the 21st. |
The Blue Calendar version 2 seems to be the one that will pass. |
Hey, they moved 3rd Q end to right before Spring Break. That's good news. |
Spring Break will be 11 days long.
Interesting. |
May 3rd is a teacher workday.
It’s also an AP test day. This was not considered. |
They keep talking about the feedback of the choppiness of the calendar.
McLaughlin seems to be most negative. She brings up a good point that Super Tuesday (March 5th) might need to be a PW. |
They will have to add in a day off for Super Tuesday in March. |
What holidays are axed in this calendar? |
YASSSSSS! |
Melanie Meren is always confused. 🙄
Lord help us all of these buffoons pass this calendar for more than 1 year. |
Wow, they aren't wrong. People hated taking away the 2 week Winter Break.

Meren is not happy that she was kept in the dark that a new calendar was being developed today. |
but not the other years. 24/25 https://go.boarddocs.com/vsba/fairfax/Board.nsf/files/CNW29S01214F/$file/2024-2025-standard-school-year-calendar-BLUE-DRAFT-AMENDED.pdf 25/26 https://go.boarddocs.com/vsba/fairfax/Board.nsf/files/CNW29V0122C1/$file/2025-2026-standard-school-year-calendar-BLUE-DRAFT-AMENDED.pdf this one has a week, then the next monday is workday, then 3 days of school, and then another workday. ludicrous. |
oh yikes 24/25 has a workday a week and a half before spring break. I cannot imagine that they will approve the 3 years and then they will amend them in the future. bc the board is awful. |
Any chance they pass something tonight? I bet they pause to get more information. This group can’t make a decision |
