[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was an AEM post today  detailing the 12 mos v 10 mos employee inequity. Just crazy this isn’t being covered by the press.

Also saw this posted online: https://www.gazetteleader.com/arlington/opinion/letter-aps-calendar-proposal-does-not-prioritize-learning-7471776[/quote]

Oh that letter! It's from one of the notorious APEs. Now they are attacking religious minorities who finally got their holidays.

Personally my kids benefit from the holidays. They are appreciated as mental health breaks from a hectic intense schedule. [/quote]

Oh please.  Read the letter before you start in on your ridiculous attacks.  Nothing about it is attacking religious minorities.  Plenty of people have said “why isn’t my observance on the list”.  Are they not religious minorities too? That’s one reason falls church abandoned the policy.

“Unlike APS, Fairfax County Public Schools based its holiday-closure decisions on data regarding staff and student absences, offering Extended Day child care during closures. Falls Church City abandoned religious-holiday closures due to their adverse impact on education, working families and religious equity.”[/quote]
