[quote=Anonymous]My youngest kid graduates in 2026, so this exercise isn’t for me. But if I had younger kids, here’s what I’d do, based on my 15 years as a DCPS parent: Keep the April spring break: love that it’s fixed, love that it generally doesn’t coincide with other school systems, love that it’s in actual spring, when weather tends to be nicer. This is a keeper. Bring back February break: better a week consolidated in February that already has a holiday than a couple of four-day weekends. If they need to work in PD days, make it a PD week for teachers. Start school two weeks before Labor Day: Those mid/late August weeks were always the hardest to find camps. Get ‘em back in school. I’d much rather they be in school in August than in June. End school by June 15 (preferably earlier): I can’t imagine this is controversial…but who knows?[/quote]
