[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is any other district considering this?  Why is APS doing this?[/quote]

*EquItY*

Even Fairfax isn’t doing it. Not sure who decided to die on this hill at APS. [/quote]

Syphax did. They wanted another paid holiday. But they didn’t get it this time. [/quote]
No I think this is more about proving how progressive we are, rebuking Trump, getting DEI street cred. Operational efficiency was not mentioned so it wasn’t staff requesting off. They did not expect a fight which is why it wasn’t going to go up for a vote initially [/quote]

[b]These folks are detached from reality not understanding this would be a big deal.  Which is not great[/b].[/quote]

Agreed.   They moved this last minute to a no–consent item?  Initially Duran (?) was just going to have this quietly approved?[/quote]

They really have no idea what happens in school buildings, do they? They really thought they could cancel school 2 weeks before the end of the year without cancelling a ton of events that are important to people.

Reminds me of when we had a snow storm on a Thursday so they went ahead and closed school buildings all weekend.  Not a single person at Syphax considered that would mean cancelling sports, a school play, cultural school, etc.[/quote]
This is exactly why we need someone who has been a school employee on the school board. Anyone from janitor to principal can tell you how packed the last few weeks of school are. [/quote]

Dems messed up again. [/quote]

Fck off 
[/quote]

I truly don’t understand this response. The Dems had a candidate who is not only extremely liberal, but is a parent, educator, and works extremely closely with teachers in the school board already. But they went with the person who was apparently “easier to work with“.[/quote]
Easier to work with = won’t address many of the glaring issues that effect staff and students. [/quote]

It's what a popularity contest gets you. I would put money of the fact that JP would never abstain from a vote. She's tough as nails.[/quote]
