[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any updates on possibility of moving last day of school to June 12? That makes so much sense![/quote]
Loudoun County was scheduled to end on Monday, June 15, which meant they only needed to remove one day from their calendar.

FCPS is scheduled to end on June 17 and would need to remove 3 days from their calendar to end on June 12. [b]FCPS does NOT have 3 days left in their snow day budget.[/b]

It is not happening and has not even been proposed. This thread is based entirely on a liked post by one school board member. [/quote]

They had 5 snow days and 2 election days. I heard they had 11 or 12 days built in so 3 more should be enough.[/quote]

Early release, delays all play in. They are not ending June 12. Preschool has already been extended. [/quote]
Yes. Elementary early releases eat up somewhere between 3-4 days. Then 6 delayed openings eats up another 2-ish days. Early releases at the end of the quarter also deduct from the total when they use instructional hours instead of days. [b]Elementary schools have something like 3-9 hours left depending on how many minutes they count toward a school day.[/b] [/quote]

Looks like FCPS really screwed up their schedule BIG time this year. It's been extra long in the past but never as long as this year. It looks like middle and high school could still end sooner but this elementary school issue is a MESS! They should not be closed tomorrow AND April 21. They should have been open on some of the other random days off. As for ES some of the early releases need to be removed or shortened. For a school year that began on August 18 (August 11 for teachers and August 4 for new teachers) this should be over well before June 17. FCCPS had the same start date but ends June 5. Yes they don't have all the crazy days off that FCPS have and Salem City ends even earlier on MAY 28![/quote]

Tomorrow is a scheduled school planning day (SOD). April 21 is an Election Day. The April 21 day came after the SPD had already been planned. They aren’t going to take away an SPD Becuase a random Election Day popped up. When are you idiots going to get it? [/quote]
