[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The religious holidays are here to stay. And so is the extra planning time for teachers. Deal with it.[/quote]

Cool, then hold school on Federal Holidays, that will help a good amount. It gives back 4 days and causes more complete weeks. easy fix. [/quote]

Will never happen hahahaha.

You’re just screwed I guess.[/quote]

It already happens— Columbus/Indigenous Is one of the TW days. Do the same for veterans and one of the Memorial days.[/quote]
Unless those days coincide with the end of a quarter (they don’t) turning them into TW will do nothing to improve the calendar unless they counted it as “planning time” in place of 3 hour early releases.

They need to align quarter breaks with holidays.

Quarter 1 usually ends the Friday before Election Day.

Quarter 2 could be timed around MLK or President’s Day.

[b]And detaching Spring Break from Easter and aligning it with the end of the third quarter could transition some H days to TW/SP days. [/b][/quote]

Omg. They already tried that and it was a total disaster. Are you for real??[/quote] The DISASTER is how a bunch of schools like to use the week before Easter as the decision for spring break. If you want to accommodate the Easter people it would be the week after but it should be secular to a certain time in the school year.[/quote]
