[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While the records days are required, they used to be half days for students that counted as full days toward the 180 so we got out earlier. Families expressed that half days were harder for childcare. Most teachers hate the PD days and a lot of them take leave, but they are required as part of our contract. [/quote] Half days are not full days and should not be counted as such toward the 180. I can't understand why it's acceptable for DCPS to schedule only the MINIMUM amount of days of school, and then people still want to shorten it from there. In my school district, the schedule included more than the MINIMUM amount of instruction days to begin with -- so you only had to "make up" days if you got a lot of snow days. It is school. We should not be doing the minimum.[/quote] Half days are counted toward the 180 day minimum in almost every school district in America. [/quote]
