[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Folks - FCPS experimented with a year-round calendar about a decade ago. It’s one of the items eliminated when the budget was cut. [/quote] I believe one major reason for the failure to launch of that initiative was that it was not implemented county-wide. If you have some schools following Schedule A and the rest following Schedule B, you are going to incur more costs, therefore being "available" to be cut in lean budget times. [/quote] This. They only tried it with 2 elementary schools. Of course that’s not going to work long term. [/quote] 7 elementary schools had the modified calendar. In 2008 the last day of school was June 13 for “regular” and June 17 for modified calendar. Of course the start dates and breaks were different. It ended in the 2010-2011 SY. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/year-round-schools-casualty-of-fairfax-budget [/quote]
