[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, they did vote to have school on Veteran's Day. 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]

The 8 days are the early release days at elem, not the early release days due to quarter end, right?[/quote]

I'm not sure from her post and I didn't watch the meeting. She said the proposal was amended from 4 early release to 8, so I'm hoping the amending to 8 was to allow for the 4 end of qtr early releases and 4 3hr elementary early releases -- aka someone realized the wording of 4 would mean end of qtr only. I hope it isn't 8 of the 3 hr elementary early releases because that is exactly what they had planned this year (8 elementary ER and the 4 end of qtr) before canceling the April elementary early release.

Based on the discussion, Reid is more likely to remove end of quarter early releases before she removed 3 hour early release dates. She didn’t see much of a point for the end of quarter releases. [/quote]
