[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These O days are a total waste of time. Guess my kids will be missing school on those days. Once again, the School Board is only good at keeping kids out of school.[/quote] No, the SB wanted to cherry pick holidays celebrated by a small % of the district and just give those 4 days off for religious reasons. FCPS lawyers basically said it's a lawsuit waiting to happen and so came up with O days. It is FCPS that made the ridiculous decision not to allow any actual teaching to happen those days rather than just saying "no assessments or special events with opportunity to make up assignments for a week". THAT would have been a 100% reasonable policy and sounded a lot like what they actually planned to do from the initial press release - the additional guidance teachers have posted is WAY more restrictive than FCPS initially implied in its announcement about this.
