[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would love it to be de-coupled from Easter. Easter is a religious holiday to me and we don’t like to travel on Easter. But we also would like a spring break.  If the two were moved, I could have both.

Also, why is Easter the last day?? If I actually traveled to extended family, it would require the entire day of plane travel to get home. So instead of spending the religious holiday with family, I’m traveling. Easter should at a minimum be the first weekend of spring break, not the last day.

Also, in general I think we need less religious holidays off school and more actual vacation days that are strung together, so decoupling Easter would be a start. [/quote] Next year's calendar is the perfect example..... August 18-June 17 and that is students for teachers it's August 11-June 18 (August 5-June 18 for new teachers). It's basically a year round schedule for teachers but with only 2 breaks during the year instead of 3+ that year round schools do.[/quote]
