[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Longer and frequent breaks is far better.

Kids get time.
Families can travel.[/quote]

It makes no sense to cram all vacations and breaks in 2-3 months. It's far better to spread it out. International families can travel and kids can get break. [/quote]

Agree so much.  I do appreciate that many have already planned their vacation for late August next year.... but I hope that if this is a reason to keep the later start for the coming year, we can take the time to address it sooner for future years.[/quote]

How many people in MoCo actually have a "bought and paid for" vacation already for August 2023?  I am guessing that is a small fraction of families.[/quote]

I think you’d be surprised, plus camp schedules are already coming out. Our own extended family is waiting on us/this info for a group trip. People need to be able to plan. This is really late to be changing the weeks in any significant fashion. [/quote]

This is the standard timeframe for decisions about the next year's calendar. December is the deadline according to policy. During one year of the pandemic, they suspended the policy and delayed the decision until March, IIRC. But it's otherwise been decided in December.[/quote]
