[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those who don’t get the survey, here is the gist:

1) Are you happy with the current calendar?
2) Preferred start/end date pairing (Aug 21 or 28)
3) Length of Winter and Spring Breaks (both long, both short, mix)
4) Fix Spring Break or match with Easter
5) Importance of pairing Spring Break with close districts
6) How to give teachers planning time (early dismissal, late arrival, or full days)
7) Impact on child care of #6 (which has least impact)
8) How to give elementary school teachers additional planning time (shorten day, early dismissals, full days at quarter end)
9) How to deal with added days (extend year or reduce other usual holidays)
Following trace from 9:
9a) Reduce Spring Break by 1
9b) Reduce Spring Break by 2
9c) Reduce Winter Break by 1
9d) Reduce Winter Break by 2
9e) Eliminate Wednesday before T-day
9f) One asynchronous day
9g) Two asynchronous days

I love how reducing Spring Break by a day or two was thrown in there, like the length of Spring Break was suddenly an issue.  It's not, nobody ever had a problem with the length of Spring Break.

Hey, School Board, the problem is all the random religious holidays you threw in ON TOP OF the ridiculously long Winter Break.  Fix that, and you'll have a calendar that makes sense.

I voted for a shorter winter break but also commented that the "1/2 week" part needs to be BEFORE xmas; I absolutely hate when they take the entire first week of Jan off - work starts back on the 2nd with a vengeance - it does not work to have kids home that week. [/quote]
