[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's be fair, DCPS hasn't barely had 10 full school weeks this year. The number of PD/Conference/other days off is insane[/quote]

This school year? DCPS has had 3 PD days so far since August, with another scheduled for tomorrow for the end of term. There has also been one day off for parent-teacher conferences (that was combined with one of the PD days for a 4 day weekend).

The remaining days off have all been holidays or scheduled breaks, which charters also observe.

I would rather have to figure out childcare for 4 full PD days from August to January, all of which are scheduled to coincide with a weekend and several to coincide with existing holidays to create 4 day weekends, than to pay for childcare for my child every single Wednesday due to early release.

Also isn't the early release more disruptive to their schedule? At our DCPS, there is instruction after lunch. Missing a full day of instruction for a PD day feels far less disruptive to learning than having a half day every single week.[/quote]
