[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here are facts.

APS does not care what any of us think.  It's all about what the teachers want and the teachers want to match FCPS.  I had a School Board Member tell me this to my face when they moved to pre-Labor Day start.

The added religious holidays will only go away if FCPS gets rid of them.

We are basically an FCPS outpost in many ways.  Same reason we have to close or delay when there is not a real weather issue in Arlington.  Gotta follow FCPS.[/quote]

I think this is right and I wish they would just be more transparent about it. It’s obnoxious to ask for feedback when they aren’t going to listen to any of it. [/quote]

I don't think it's always been like this - I'm a FCPS teacher with kids in APS - but I think now that they are starting plan calendars in increments of 2-3 years at a time, they are trying to align them.  It makes sense - so many teachers live in other counties than where they work.  To have different Spring Breaks, etc. like they did last year are a disaster.  [/quote]
