[quote=Anonymous]“ The committee came up with recommendations, but I wouldn't call them good. In fact, the School Board's lawyer stated that the religious holidays were very likely illegal, which is why we have the even worse O day situation. Moving the AP test dates is ridiculous and could actually harm students.” The answer here is NOT to bow to the pressure and just give out the extra 4 holidays. It is to go back to the approach it sounded like FCPS was proposing when O days came up initially - avoid FCPS tests those days and tell schools not to schedule big one time only things like school plays, graduation, etc (non-recurring) those days and tell teachers kids get X days to make up the work or tests. But do away with trying to literally grind the entire district to a half those days. [/quote]
