[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They either need to come off the 180 day commitment or eliminate holidays — don’t care if religious or Columbus Day or whatever. Something has to give. The calendar is out of control. We’ve gotten nothing out of moving up a week. They just added more days off. All the nonsense about more instructional days before AP exams was just a scam to put in the religious holidays. [/quote]
I’m staff and agree 100%
3 days of early release in October, so stupid [/quote].

And 3 in March.  All for conferences instead of the 1 early release day and 1 day off.

I actually think this makes sense.  I’ve had 2 kids go through elementary school and most teachers don’t even hold the conferences on the full day off school.  They pack them in after school and then I guess just take the day off?  We often used to use those days to travel as a family.  It was a good chance to hit places at non-peak travel time.[/quote]

The school board just changed the calendar for this year to get rid of the half days for conferences and bring back a full day off. So the calendar committee proposes 3 half days? The right hand never talks to the left hand in APS.[/quote]
