[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it really telling that they included Montgomery county as a 'surrounding jurisdiction' but did not include Falls Church City.  I recognize that FCC is tiny- but it actually borders Fairfax and it adopted a much better calendar that did not include the additional religious holidays.  It seems like they want to control the narrative that 'everyone' is including the holidays.[/quote]

There is no chance we have many staff commuting from MoCo to work in FCPS. [/quote]

The McLean schools have plenty of MCPS teachers and staff.

Very odd that Falls Church City is ignored entirely.  [/quote]

Staff don’t live in Falls Church City and FCC students are not diverse like Fairfax County. The holidays are not relevant there.[/quote]

If people need to do religious activities on a certain day, then I believe we all agree that they should be given latitude to complete assignments or take tests or whatever.  But your religious activities are YOUR CHOICE.  I don't see why EVERYONE must stop all education just because some choose religious activities over education.  🤷   We can support and accomodate those who want to prioritize their religious activities without stopping everything.[/quote]
