[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's nuts.  Days off should be grouped as much as possible to minimize the number of short weeks.  It's frankly easier to deal with a few long weekends than a million random four-day weeks.  [/quote]If can get the religion’s to move their Holy days to Mondays and Fridays, it will work. [/quote]

They should have aligned the teacher workdays with the Holy Days.

I really feel for the teachers that live in other counties. The School Board fixed the Spring Break issue, but now we are starting before any other county and also ending the latest.

This calendar was built to make Omeish happy.[/b] She was giddy last night and everyone else (staff included) were only resigned to how terrible this calendar is.  [/quote]

This is not true. There is a woman who is very involved in the Democratic party circles, a fairly decent sized donor, who really led the charge to add religious holidays to the calendar. She has been working on this for years (she is a Jewish woman and very involved in her synagogue as well as an FCPS parent who is very frustrated by what she has seen as a lack of attention paid to "O" days when it comes to her kids being out of school on religious holidays). She basically declared war against the members of the current school board who voted against adding additional religious holidays. She really put in the time and the effort and pulled the strings that she needed to, and got it done. [/quote]
