[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People suggesting multiple weeks long breaks throughout the year are delusional. How much in a bubble are you that you think everyone else has the time and money to travel during those times? Talk about inequitable. The kids whose parents can’t afford to travel need childcare and there is no one to staff it when college students are not available. Not to mention many teachers would hate this schedule. It would push even more of them out of the profession. Who wants to deal with re-acclimating a classroom full of kids after several weeks off multiple times per year? People here think only of their own families and situations. The school board’s biggest mistake was sending out a survey about the calendar. It makes something simple so overly complicated trying to “let everyone’s voice be heard”. Why we can’t just do things like every other school district in this part of the country, I don’t know.

The childcare cost/burden would be the same with a shorter summer and longer breaks. It's the same number of school days on and school days off.[/quote]

That absolutely does not mean: 1) coat is the same for mid year camps staffed by adults vs summer camps staffed by college kids and 2) that it is as easy for parents to take PTO to cover parts of it. [/quote]
