[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So for the calander supporters. What part of Meren’s statement: “…costly childcare arrangements. In the 2025-26 school year alone, partial weeks occurred more than half the time, functioning as an informal “childcare tax” that falls hardest on our hourly-wage and most vulnerable households.” Do you disagree with? What would you do to address this issue if not make changes to the calendar? [/quote] I do not support the 25-26 calendar, but struggle to see how the 26-27 calendar could be improved. It honors federal, religious, and cultural observances while also optimizing 4 and 5 day school weeks. The only improvement would be to remove 3 hour early releases so that SACC families could get the 3 days of childcare back that were removed this year to staff the early release dates. [/quote]
