[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Best way would be to remove Christmas and Easter. That would cause enough an uproar that all religious holidays would be examined.[/quote]

Easter is conveniently positioned on a Sunday. You want kids to come to school on a Sunday? I would LOVE for spring break to not be tied to Easter, as would many families. Easter Monday is not a thing and can be removed.[/quote]

This is where a unified Northern Virginia calendar would REALLY help with SACC care available on days off when they fall in the middle of the week.  As someone who teaches in a different county, with kids in FCPS, I would absolutely take days off during FCPS’ longer breaks.  Many others would do the same which is what sunk the idea in the first place.

FCPS and surrounding counties can make longer breaks at a set time, but they absolutely have to work together on this on or it won’t work. There is too much crossover in the area between counties for the workforce to make anything else work.

Common sense and cooperation would really help here. [/quote]
