[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m completely against year round school and am hoping LCPS doesn’t head that direction. I love summer break.[/quote]

Did you even look at the sample calendar? There’s still a summer break, it’s just 5-6 weeks instead of 8+. [/quote]

Yes, but I much prefer a longer summer break that makes it easier to coordinate and travel with family in other districts. [/quote]

The year round calendar had the majority of summer break in June with school restarting in mid July. Not ideal in any way.[/quote]

Consider how miserably hot July and August are and how little you can actually be outside for a lot of the day during those months. Now add 2 weeks off in late September, 2 weeks in April for spring break and a 3 week break in December/January. Such a no brainer for me. So many more opportunities to enjoy time off vs 8+ weeks in 103 degree heat. I think it will be very popular with many families and staff. [/quote]
[b]It also lets you spread out childcare costs[/b]. I’d love a year round schedule and would likely move and quit my APS job for Loudon if this happens. [/quote]

Childcare for what age?   Are you talking about teachers than need to find childcare for their own children?  Or parents of school children needing to find childcare for the times school is not in session?
Won't it actually be difficult to find reliable childcare for more frequent, shorter terms, than to just find one consistent caregiver/daycare for a longer stretch-that is also consistent with other local district's schedule?[/quote]
