[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So do the 8 early release days include early release Wednesdays? Or will that be a totally different thing since it only applies to elementary schools? They have been so dumb.[/quote]
The motion turned into a disaster. Dunne was trying to stop elementary early releases by using language in the calendar planning policy, but then it was pointed out that there are a ton of high school early releases that aren’t on the calendar either, and we can’t just make high schoolers sit around at school after they’ve finished their AP exam or final because the school board said they couldn’t leave early!

Then the new guy threw out 8 days as a compromise and the language specifying elementary schools got added.

Basically, the attempt to kill the Wednesday early releases resulted in the death of end of quarter early releases, which isn’t going to be popular with the long weekend travelers. [/quote]

Updated calendar from today still has the QE early dismissals. The long weekends are safe.[/quote]
Could you please link to this?[/quote]

That Calendar is awful, but hey the complainers who don’t like being with their elementary kids are happy.  We are being ruled by complainers on social media rather than surveys and thinking things through. [/quote]

The person who keeps bringing up the "you hate your kids" thing is projecting so hard I am actually worried about their children.[/quote]
