[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i really hope the masses select eliminate all the religious holidays. it’s ridiculous how many we have off and how long the school year is. so many districts in Va are done or finishing before us and they all started after us[/quote]

I would be shocked if that is even offered as an option, it has not been an option the last few years. I have written that they need to go away or the Federal holidays need to go away in the comments section ebcause it is not covered in the survey itself.

None of it matters, the small percentage of the population that wants all the days off will take the survey and encourage their friends to take the survey. Most of the county that doesn't pay attention to their emails won't even look at the survey. The Board will point to the small percentage of people who took the survey who are very invested in having their religious day off or who love all the days off as evidence that people want them.

The survey doesn't matter. I'll still do it but I doubt it will make any impact. [/quote]

I guess I am eating crow. The survey was short and actually allowed people to rank order things in a way that you could express your feelings on the breaks. I went with Two week winter break, one week spring break, day off before Thanksgiving, Federal Holidays, Religious Holidays. And I put prioritizing 5 day weeks as my top priority. I wish there was room for comments but the survey actually addressed the issues most people seem to have. [/quote]
