[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just saw that on today's SB meeting, they added a new calendar C option that removes the new 4 religious holidays? It also moves spring break to a fixed week.

At this point I'd rather they just settle on something and keep it roughly the same from year to year.[/quote]

Good, those explicitly religious holidays should not be in the school calendar.[/quote]

Agreed. Schools should be in session during all explicitly religious holidays. Just make sure that when your child misses tests or other assignments on [b]Christmas or Easter[/b], you are prepared to contact the school to advocate for them EVERY YEAR because the law says observing a religious holiday means they should not be penalized.

Well, Easter is always on a Sunday, and I'm not aware of any public school that's open on Sundays.

As for Christmas, FCPS doesn't have a Christmas holiday.  It has a 2 week Winter Break.[/quote]
