[quote=Anonymous]Thanks OP for starting this discussion. Taking the factors into account and looking at where they added School Planning / Staff Development days this year as a guide, I end up with the following projected calendar:

Mon 21 Aug - First Day of School
Fri 1 Sep - Labor Day (extra day, doesn't appear requireed, but I'm assuming they'll do this again?)
Mon 4 Sep - Labor Day
Mon 25 Sep - Yom Kippur
Mon 9 Oct - Indigenous Peoples Day
Thu 26 Oct - 45th School Day (End of Q1) - Early Release
Fri 27 Oct - Quarter Transition Teacher Workday
Fri 10 Nov - Veterans Day
Tue 14 Nov - Election Day
Wed 22 Nov through Fri 24 Nov - Thanksgiving Break
Mon 18 Dec through Mon 1 Jan - Winter Break
Mon 15 Jan - MLK Day
Wed 24 Jan - 91st School Day (End of Q2) - Early Release
Thu 25 Jan - Staff Development Day (mirrors current calendar)
Fri 26 Jan - Quarter Transition Teacher Workday
Mon 19 Feb - Presidents Day
Thu 7 Mar - Early Release
Fri 8 Mar - School Planning Day (again, not sure if required, but I'm guessing they put this here since there's only 1 other day off in all of Feb/Mar)
Mon 1 Apr through Fri 5 Apr - Spring Break
Wed 10 Apr - Eid
Thu 25 Apr - 147th School Day (End of Q3) - Early Release
Fri 26 Apr - Quarter Transition Teacher Workday
Fri 3 May - Orthodox Good Friday
Mon 27 May - Memorial Day
Fri 14 Jun - 180th School Day (End of School Year) - Early Release

They do seem to flex a bit on the quarters... e.g. this year they were 45, 44, 47 and 43 days long. So in example above I used similar flexibility and ended up with 45, 46, 46, 43 day quarters.

Question... if VA requires 180 days, why does our 2022-23 calendar only have 179?  Are our school days long enough that we achieve the 990 hours requirement instead (using one less day)?  If that's the case, then I guess the mock calendar I'm providing here also has 1 non-virtual snow day built into it.[/quote]
