[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To those saying this isn't about woke politics, I am having a hard time fathoming why a conservative school board would have allowed this. This definitely seems like woke nonsense. Correct me if I'm wrong. [/quote]

That is an interesting point, i wonder how many days off they have in the bible belt. [/quote]

My family member lives in the buckle of the Bible belt.

Their public schools all start around August 15th.

High school graduations are the 3rd week of May.

School ends no later than the Friday before Memorial Day weekend.

They are off the same Thanksgiving days as FCPS (Weds-Friday), roughly 10 days for Christmas break (December 23 through January 1, might be longer on the years that Christmas/NY falls on a Tuesday or Wednesday), and are off Labor Day and I think MLK day (so honoring one national holiday each semester.)

The Friday before Easter is usually a half day.

Spring break is at the end of 3rd quarter, separate from Easter.

The 1st semester ends in December.  2nd semester begins in January.

All quarters are roughly equal.

Half days and 1 day off at the end of 1st quarter.

They have 3-5 snow days built into the calender.

This is standard for all the public schools in the area, even the diverse ones.[/quote]

Public schools in with this type of calendar usually only have 165 school days per year.[/quote]
