[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do they want to lengthen the school year/shorten the summer, when this idea is extremely unpopular among families & teachers/staff? Does anyone know the underlying motivation?[/quote] Staff are upset about the shortened summer but some want 4 day schoolweeks. Adding the religious holidays is a way to create more 4 day school weeks but say it's for "equity". Except for the tiny inequitable consequence that some major holidays are not on the list and it definitely is not equitable for people who need to find childcare or students with disabilities who need consistency.
