[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All I care about is that they NOT tie Easter to spring break and instead tie it to quarter end so the kids get a week and a half off all at once. But the school board is too dumb to even think about doing that.[/quote]

The goal isn’t to align it to Easter, the goal is to align it to the other counties’ calendar.[/quote]

But since other counties align with Easter, we will be aligning with Easter as well. [/quote]

I thought the most important issue with the calendar was making sure Spring Break wasn't part of a Christian holiday?[/quote]

That was the year they were trying to hold the line and not hand out religious holidays like candy. They tried shifting break away from Easter but because this did not align with other schools and teachers count on spring break as a vacation time with their families the staff that live outside of FC flipped out. It created a genuine operational shortfall issue. One that did not exist for any of the religious one day holidays FCPS had school on that year while others did not. But the optics of adding back a spring break that aligns with Easter (since that is when other districts take it) and not adding in the religious holidays that had no operational need to be holidays was too painful.
