[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh. Why is spring break so late again? Either make it early March or add a Feb holiday. [/quote]

Seriously?  Winter break runs into early January.  You need a week off less than two months later but are fine with no meaningful time off for the last three months of the school year?[/quote]

People want a late start, long winter break, a mid-Feb break, spring break, and early-June end date....but still observe all the holidays and religious days and give teachers planning/grade prep days. I'd love for one of those people to propose an actual calendar that does that.[/quote]

Lame strawman. No one person is asking for all of that.

I'm the top PP and I don't think we should have any religious holidays - including Christmas. I'm ok with starting end of August and getting out mid-June end. Consolidate the days off so we don't have a bunch of one offs. Have better spacing between the breaks.

So move winter break to start with New Years Eve and run through early January?

I mean, I agree with you that we shouldn’t be prioritizing certain religions’ holidays over others, but they probably wouldn’t be able to get enough subs to cover all of the teachers who would call out on Christmas. [/quote]

Exactly, the fact is in this country. The majority of citizens celebrate the Christmas holiday. That’s why it qualifies as a federal holiday. [/quote]
