[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But the highest positive response was for ONE week before labor day and none of the next three years has that.

We’re also not seeing what they voted for for the end of the year, which impacts the start of the year. In recent surveys most families wanted a later start and an earlier end, which is not exactly feasible.[/quote]

Sure it is.  We’ve explained how so many times.  An easy way to cut days off the end is to get rid of all of the teacher workdays and PD days.   Have school on Veteran’s Day, with an assembly, once again and have school the day before Thanksgiving.  That’s at least a week if not more right there. -teacher [/quote]

Different Teacher here- the extra PD days is what elongates the calendar. Most school districts do not have this.

I would make Columbus/Veteran’s Day school days. I would also get rid of like 2-3 PD days.

Just looking at the calendar this year…
If Columbus Day was a student day, and May 3 and one of the days after Spring Break, we could end the SY on Friday June 7.

For 24/25
Taking away Two PD days in Oct(1 being Columbus) and Veteran’s Day the last day could be Friday, June 6.

For 25/26
This calendar ends late June 17, but if you took away Columbus Day, Veteran’s Day and another PD day you could end school on Friday June 12.

The gist is, just 3 days makes a huge difference.

I am telling you- they need teachers to make the calendars. 🤣[/quote]
