[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Salem City, Virginia school calendar
Same law applies, they get out 20 days sooner!
May 28 is their last day, and they started the same day as FCPS!

The argument on this thread is about consistent school. Getting out 20 days earlier, and therefore having a longer summer, would be even more disruptive to student learning.

The summer has the most negative impact on student routine and continuity of learning. If we really want students to be in school and learning, then advocating for even more time off in June isn’t the answer.

The argument is for consistent school in the school year. 20 days earlier means during the school year kids are in school.

I don’t know whether this is true in Salem City but in Fairfax there are plenty of programs for summer enrichment and kids starting those a month sooner would have even more opportunities they don’t presently have.[/quote]
