[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does Arlington start on the 29th and Fairfax on the 22nd? And we both get out the same week? What are they doing better with their calendar?[/quote] They have less Teacher Workdays. The religious holidays is not the issue. It is the TEACHER WORKDAYS added on to the religious holidays. There are too many. I say this as a teacher. [/quote] Wrong. It is absolutely the extra holidays - Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashana, and Diwali…wtf?![/quote] Actually I just looked at surrounding counties that also have off those days. Once school starts… Loudoun has 5 PD days PWCS has 5 PD Days Fairfax has 9!!!!! [/quote] I didn’t look at the other counties, but Loudon has a lot more holidays off for both students and staff than FCPS. And in FCPS, some of those holidays are PD days (Rosh Hashanah and Eid for example). That’s how we get up to 9. [/quote]
