[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s a lot of good stuff in the 2022 calendar that we should be bringing back. Using two federal holidays as SP days. Almost all TW days on Fridays.

Are you referencing 2021-2022 or 2022-2023?

Either way, neither calendar has more than half of the TW on Fridays once school began in August. Also, neither had two SP days on Federal holidays.

The 2021-2022 calendar had no SP days on federal holidays and the 2022-2023 calendar had one, a SP day on Veterans Day.[/quote]

2022-2023– October 10, 2022 was a federal holiday even if not one VA recognizes. Nov 11 2022 also a federal holiday.

5 school year TW days on either Monday or Friday, lowest commuting days in the region.

Yeah there’s still some midweek foolishness, but nothing like we have now. It’s a good place to start.

Ah, well FCPS is in Virginia and Virginia recognizes Indigenous People's Day, so no it was not a federal holiday.

Also, your post said "Fridays". Way to move the goalposts to Fridays AND Mondays once you were fact checked. [/quote]

Virginia can decide what federal holidays it honors, it cannot decide what federal holidays exist. October 10, 2022 was a federal holiday no matter how hard you stomp your feet.

I think we have a lot to learn from the 2022 calendar.  [/quote]

True, but FCPS's calendar (what we're discussing) is based off of the holidays Virginia recognizes no matter how much you hate progressive change, boomer. [/quote]
