[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s probably the working parents who want year round school. They want the childcare. [/quote] True year round school has just as much time off, but distributed differently. Kids will still have to go to camps, but not 3 months in a row. [/quote] People should stop using the term “year round”. It’s not accurate and is confusing. When FCPS had schools on this type of schedule it was called a modified calendar. Do we even know that this is what the Governor was referencing?[/quote] They can't afford year round. Staff salaries make up 85-90% of the annual school budget. They only way they can find another $50-100 million is to raise taxes and I doubt that will happen based on the current economic climate.[/quote] That's not the only way... e.g., they could "find" $36 million of it by just reassigning one or two ES from the West Potomac pyramid to the Mount Vernon pyramid.[/quote]
