[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to convince Fairfax to do it. Arlington will follow whatever Fairfax does, and I'm sure most of the other counties will too[/quote]

Fairfax DID do it last year (2022) and there was a high revolt because the other counties didn’t follow and teachers had different breaks from their own kids. FCPS came right back to the standard Easter break the following year. So your theory is wrong. [/quote]

It's not wrong. Fairfax has been setting its calendar WAAAAY late in the last few years, after all the other counties, so it wasn't possible in that instance bc the other counties had already put out their calendars (which were their best guesses on what Fairfax would do!). It was a blindside.

If FFx got its act together and put forth a calendar more than 4 months before the start of school you will absolutely see the other counties fall in line. Arlington in its calendar discussions this spring talked about how that different spring break week was terrible and they don't want to go through that again. [/quote]

Well, LCPS has already set calendars for the next 3 school years through June 2026, and all of the spring breaks are the week before Easter. So if FCPS wants to align with LCPS, it will need to start with school year 2026-2027 to unattach Spring Break from Easter. [/quote]
