[quote=Anonymous]OP, you are looking at the problem from the wrong direction. FCPS is obligated by law to provide 180 school days a year or 990 hours of instruction. Every time a holiday is added, FCPS has to rework its schedule to fit the needs of the students, administrators and faculty while staying within its budget AND meet the legal minimum of 180 days or 990 hours. It's not easy. So, sometimes holiday have to be merged, as in Presidents' Day, which was once separate holidays in Feb for Washington or Lincoln, or scheduled in such a way to meet all of the other demands on it[/quote]
