[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is what was shared with all principals last week: Last Day of School Given the additional instructional hours built into the school year calendar, DCPS will not have to extend the school year for SY 23-24 to accommodate snow closures. The last day of school for students will remain Monday, June 17 and the last day for teachers, a Records/PD Day will remain Tuesday, June 18.[/quote] If the school district really wanted to support learning, they would not put the bar so low. They are asking the wrong question. It is not how to meet the regulation of 180 and a minimum of 1080 hours (this includes lunch and recess). It is what calendar will best support the students to meet the goal of public education. We should not (as a district) continue to accept this as the best that can be done for our children. If the district was really interested in educating the students - not going through the motions and checking boxes off - they would have as many days as possible scheduled before Memorial Day. Structure calendars so that there were no weeks with only 2 days of school. Better plan for the cycles of when the students and teachers needed breaks. Move spring break to a point in time that makes sense for both the student body and teachers. Petition the Mayor and council for Emancipation Day to be a school day with targeted instruction on that day. [/quote]
