[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Loudoun County schools start Thursday the 21st and get out almost a full week before FCPS?  This doesn't make any sense.  We are getting out SO late this year.  What is the rationale behind this? [/quote]

FCPS, 38 days off
LCPS, 34 days off

My childhood school district, 22 days off (no teacher work days and religous holidays)

This would mean that if Thanksgiving is a 5-day weekend along with 2 weeks off in late December/early January and a week of spring break there are only 4 other days off![/quote]

you are mostly correct with 2 of the days being the NJEA (NJ teachers union) conference. Thanksgiving is an early dismissial on wed, so a 4 day weekend.[/quote]

I grew up in NJ. Most years didn't have 2 full weeks off in late December into January except in years that fall like this December but we typically had a week in February and another week in April. I'm guessing your district didn't have a February break and the other 4 days are probably MLK, President's Day, Good Friday and Memorial Day.[/quote]
