[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could we cancel all remaining 3 hour early release days as compromise? Why does FCPS think that the bare minimum is acceptable. [/quote]

FCPS is exceeding the state minimum number of hours. They are already providing above and beyond what they are legally required to do.

Can you stop saying this? FCPS has more or less failed students this year with their calendar. It has been disruptive to the point of being negligent.  So what if they're meeting a cobbled legal floor? It does not mean they're doing more than the bare minimum.[/quote]

Literally by the definition of "bare minimum", they are doing more.

You can use a phrase improperly all you want, but you can't change the actual definition of words. [/quote]

Lol because they understand how to properly use phrases? [/quote]

Anecdotally, my child who receives Special Education hours has missed a lot of his service hours because of these closures, TWDs, snow delays.  The school tries to make them up but it typically comes at a cost and even then, they are behind.

He thrives on routine but nothing has been routine about school this year.  He is self -sufficient and old enough that this isn't about care but it is 100% about academic intervention which the school hasn't been able to provide because the calendar is so mangled.[/quote]

I see the poster arguing that FCPS is doing more than is required vanished. Funny how things work.

Yep, this year has been terrible. I have emailed my Board representative.[/quote]
