[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Diwali does not move, Arlington just got the date wrong. LCPS and FCPS both had the correct date on their calendars.[/quote]

It sure does move. Anywhere between October to November!

I assume that you also want to change Spring Break to a fixed week every year instead of tied to easter and have a winter break that aligns with the end of the quarter instead of being tied to Christmas every year, correct?[/quote]

FCPS tried to fix Spring Break and it failed horribly because it was then out of sync with the surrounding school systems. Also, Christmas isn't a specific school holiday and is covered by Winter Break. Lots and lots of people take time off at the end of the year.  The schools could not feasibly run during that time. [/quote]It would be much better if winter break aligned with the end of the semester.  So, we could have it the second and third week of January.[/quote]
