[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's so insane about the school year calendar? I think it's great that we're observing religious holidays beyond the Christian ones.[/quote]

We don't observe the Christian holidays.

Easter is on a sunday. So it is never observed by FCPS.

Christmas is a federal holdiay, on a week that every industry in our area including most of the federal government shuts down.

Christmas would be off no matter what, for secular reasons.[/quote]

[b]Spring break is tied to Easter. FCPS has said this. So yes, spring break is absolutely tied to a Christian holiday.[/b][/quote]
This needs to change, look at the 2027 spring break. MARCH 22-26 with another June 17 last day. This is a big difference to the 2025 calendar which had spring break April 14-18 and the last day on June 11. That is 12 weeks post spring break a full month longer than 2025! In fact the post spring break stretch is even longer than the winter break to spring break stretch! Spring break should be moved a week or two later.[/quote]
