[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This calendar is very unfair to teachers. They are extending the academic school year and shortening the summer. Many teachers, myself included, have summer jobs to supplement income. And to do this in the name of religion is concerning for a public school. [/quote] Make sure you tell them. There’s court rulings on this and schools are supposed to have an operational justification for recognizing religious holidays. Not “I talked to religious leaders”. And they can’t hide behind fcps because falls church is going the other way. [/quote] For a district that refrained from returning to in person learning longer than other districts in the name of equity for low SES families in particular, I'd like to know exactly which low SES families they think can support this number of days off of school on the regular. The board and APS' twisted logic and routine flip flopping is infuriating!! [/quote]
