[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most people are unhappy with all of the TWD on top of the new days off. The following holidays fall on a weekend next year: Rosh Hashanah, Diwali, Lunar NY. My proposed calendar was as follows:

Start Date Aug 21
Friday and Monday of Labor Day off
Yom Kippur(Mon- Sept 25)off or TWD
Teacher Workdays on Mon Nov 6 and 7 (Election Day)
Thanksgiving W/Th/Fri
Winter Break Dec 23- Jan 7
Martin Luther King Day off
2 TWD at End of Q2
Spring Break-First Week of April
Eid- TWD or off
Memorial Day off
Last Day June 14

I like most of this but I'd say have their last day before winter/Xmas break be Wednesday Dec 20th and then return on Wednesday Jan 3. It's 13 days, but close enough to 2 weeks. [/quote]

The issue is also full weeks. I don’t see the winter break changing. Too many people traveling to home countries. [/quote]

The winter break always changed based on Christmas. With Christmas on Sunday we really could be there until the 23 and back on the 2nd. It used to happen. Christmas being on Wednesday was the only way to get 2 weeks.

But 2 weeks is here to stay. That was one thing the previous “less crazy” school board wanted. [/quote]
