[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like they all exceed the required amount bya good amount. If they can count recess as instructional time could they shorten the school day? I’m not saying they should, but could they? They already schedule extra hours.[/quote] Yes they can. It's documented here. The guidelines for determining the Standard School Year Calendar are outlined in Regulation 1344. Makeup days may be used to ensure 990 hours of instruction. Missed days, delayed openings, and early dismissals must be considered in the calculation of these hours. State code requires school districts to make up the first five missed days of school, and then requires only every other day of missed school to be made up. Currently, FCPS has the equivalent of 12 days built into the calendar. https://www.fcps.edu/index.php/calendars/2018-2019-fcps-standard-school-year-calendar [/quote]
