[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok.  Thank you.

I am glad i am misreading the O days.

Why is next year's calendar so long?[/quote]

Because our school board is run by idiots.

The only thing FCPS is good at is keeping kids out of school. [/quote]

Sigh. You get 180 days. They are not keeping kids out of school any more or less than years past.[/quote]

Oh, so I'm imagining that school starts earlier than ever and ends later than ever?

No wonder the FCPS budget keeps going up. [/quote]

This year, we started August 19th and are ending June 11th. There were 180 instructional days over 42.5 weeks. 
Next year, we will start August 18th and end June 17th. There will 180 instructional days over 43.5 weeks.

So somewhere, yes, there are 5 more days off in the middle of the school year than there were this year. I counted and there were 6 Teacher workday/Staff Development days this year and there will be 9 next year (not counting the days before and after school ends), so that's three of them. The remaining two must be holidays.

I just laugh so hard at all the white christians complaining about TWO extra holidays this year when they literally get three weeks off due to theirs.

*queue the lady who goes on and on about this is the only time for international families to visit their families overseas. My family always went in the summer. Yes, to India. Yes, during monsoon season. [/quote]

Umm, there were no explicitly Christian holidays on the calendar until they added the unnecessary Orthodox holidays.

You may be referring to Spring and Winter Breaks, but as you can easily see, these are not Christian holidays.

Try harder. [/quote

Christmas and Easter are the two most important holidays for most sects of Christianity and you know that. Others may celebrate them secularly but they're religious at their core. If FCPS pivoted to winter break at the end of the 2nd quarter with just Christmas day off and spring break at the end of the 3rd quarter with nothing off for Easter (bc its a sunday), that would be reaching equitability with what is given to minority religious groups in Fairfax County.
