[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School board voted down having school on Columbus Day, even though FCPS has more non-5-day weeks than any other large school district in the country[/quote]

From Melanie Meren's Facebook post, [b]they did vote to have school on Veteran's Day. [/b]They also voted to limit half days to 8 days per year (proposal was for 4) -- I am hoping this is a hard limit for all half days because if not, this seems no different than the current situation as elementary kids had 8 3hr early releases this year. I can live with elementary having 4 of the 3 hr early releases in addition to the traditional 2 hr early release for all at the end of the quarter. [/quote]

Ugh. Another wasted day with assemblies, breakfasts, parades, and guest speakers from certain families. And forced activities related to the military. Basically no instruction. Thanks a lot.[/quote]

Of the 2 elementary schools my children attend, both just moved to doing these things to the last school day before Veteran's Day. [/quote]

Ours pared it down considerably. It was limited to the breakfast and parade.[/quote]
