[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, next school year’s calendar does seem better - we start about a full week later on 8/24 but we still get out mid June (6/17). I feel like starting later is better for summer travel and the all important ( :roll: ) summer pool season. But getting out earlier is better for education and having less wasted time at the end of the school year. So I do wonder why they didn’t try to start the 26-27 SY on 8/17 and get out 6/10. [/quote] It needed to go in the other direction. August school is productive and valuable. June school is pointless, wasteful, and impinges upon university summer programs. [/quote] retired teacher-not FCPS Kids and teachers are ready to go back in August. June, not so much. Swimming pools are open then. And, yes, they are open in August, but no longer novel. With AP's and SOL's done--only a week or so to wind up is needed.[/quote]
