[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basically they did a crap job planning the calendar and need to fix it.  No apology.

Oh and also there will be half days once a month and maaaaybe childcare.  Maybe not.[/quote]

In 18-19 the calendar came out in late April.

Last year, it came out in early June.

So early March is good.

Yeah, it’s frustrating that the first day moved. But DCPS keeps changing their breaks and calendar priorities, so I get that it’s hard to 1) mostly follow DCPS and 2) try to make sure the calendar is meeting the needs of the school’s stakeholders.[/quote]

No horse in this race, but are you kidding me with this apologist garbage? They released a calendar. People made plans based on that calendar. If it wasn't final either because they were waiting on DCPS or key stakeholders hadn't approved then they shouldn't have published the darn thing. Not always, but sometimes in life people, companies, schools, etc. just screw up and do the wrong thing. I'm not advocating for the death penalty, but FFS, does everyone have to get a trophy?

Basically they just forgot to plan for Inauguration day as a holiday, and then added some half days because they felt like it despite having no child care plan, and that meant pushing the fall semester back.  Screwing people out of their flights and camps and travel reservations is just collateral damage.  [/quote]
