[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those who don’t get the survey, here is the gist:

1) Are you happy with the current calendar?
2) Preferred start/end date pairing (Aug 21 or 28)
3) Length of Winter and Spring Breaks (both long, both short, mix)
4) Fix Spring Break or match with Easter
5) Importance of pairing Spring Break with close districts
6) How to give teachers planning time (early dismissal, late arrival, or full days)
7) Impact on child care of #6 (which has least impact)
8) How to give elementary school teachers additional planning time (shorten day, early dismissals, full days at quarter end)
9) How to deal with added days (extend year or reduce other usual holidays)
Following trace from 9:
9a) Reduce Spring Break by 1
9b) Reduce Spring Break by 2
9c) Reduce Winter Break by 1
9d) Reduce Winter Break by 2
[b]9e) Eliminate Wednesday before T-day
[b]9f) One asynchronous day
[/b]9g) Two asynchronous days

Omg, NO!!!! Absolutely no asynchronous days. Eliminate the Wednesday before Thanksgiving?? How the f do we travel? What the f?[/quote]

I've had students in FCPS since 2015. We did not used to get Wednesday off. Then they made it an early release. Then a few years ago they gave it off. It's not like it's never happened that we've had school that day. Now, there were so many students and teachers gone that it made sense to give it off, but still. [/quote]
