I will vote yes on a long winter break.
I will vote yes on 4-day school weeks.

I will vote no on ES early-release days, but yes on end-of-quarter and end-of-year early release days.

I will vote no on random religious holidays even though my religion "benefits" from a few of the religious holidays.[/quote]

There wasn't an option to vote no on ES early release days, which is what I really wanted. Those need to go. They are so disruptive and having them mid-week is even worse.[/quote]

The board thinks they “solved” this with limiting to eight. Be in touch to tell them it isn’t sufficient.[/quote]

They limited it to four, not eight. The lack of ES planning time has been a problem since Garza got rid of half day Mondays. People cheered that but nothing was built in to replace that time. Reid snuck these random and disruptive early release days in because of the new state training a couple of years ago and then just sneakily kept scheduling them. The board didn’t call her on it.[/quote]
They limited it to 8 and specifically applied that limit to ES. This would include any combination of 3 hour early releases and end of quarter early releases. Reid did not sound attached to end of quarter early releases, especially not for every quarter. [/quote]
