[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Students start before Labor Day and end in late June because of the addition of these holidays. This is a public school system. We should have excused absences for everything except the most common federal holidays and move on. Speaking of federal holidays, APS used to be open on Veteran's Day...why did that end ? [b]Happy to drop the tie of Spring Break to Easter. [/b] [/quote] +1[/quote] PLEASE drop the tie of Spring Break to Easter. Give excused absences for the rest. Will people abuse it? Yes. Do some people abuse everything? Also yes. The dearth of 5 day attendance weeks wreaks havoc for teachers, parents, and kids alike. The only people who like all of the extra days are the "full time" syphax employees who can pat themselves on the back for being inclusive – while already working from home.[/quote]
