[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just commented. The part I hate the most is having school end earlier if there are no snow days. My kids are older but that seems hard on parents of elementary school students. [/quote]

+1. 4th quarter is too late for anyone to make alternative plans. Most camps are filled up by that point, and frankly most camps aren’t going to be available for a week when school is suooosed to be in session anyway.

I also wonder how they are going to align winter and spring breaks with nearby jurisdictions if we’re making the calendars 2 years in advance of the nearby jurisdictions. [/quote]

Also, does “neighboring jurisdictions” really just mean Fairfax? Because FCPS doesn’t align with FCC, and what about DC and Alexandria?[/quote]

+1. I don't know why they aren't just transparent and say they're aligning with FCPS. Because they're certainly not aligning with FCC.[/quote]

They're keeping it vague so that they can pick and chose which jurisdictions to align with to get to where they want. In practice that's going to mean FCPS nine times out of ten. [/quote]
