[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, since their top priority is a "multi-year calendar that allows for forward planning" will we at least get a 2 or 3 year calendar out of this? Even if it's bad? I'd prefer that. [/quote]

Not me. I would rather the new SB next year gets to set their own calendar when the religious holiday bonanza can be reassessed. Binding the new SB into this approach is why they are promising to keep it steady for multiple years, NOT because parents want it for planning. [/quote]

If you go to the section with the focus groups, the inclusion of the religious holidays is the thing that they all agree on.  They are here in perpetuity, no matter who the SB is.[/quote]

I think that might violate Virginia law to take off for the religious holidays that are not already federal holidays (I support having those major days off if there is at least 10-15 % of the population observing those holidays, but not if it is a small number like 5%)[/quote]

I’m pretty sure they already paid an expensive lawyer to verify this. If you can quote us on the exact law that they’re breaking that might be helpful for us to better evaluate it. 😊[/quote]
