[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Saw write up that Reid said at school board (so is it a done deal?) that ES will move the 1/2 day Monday’s to 1/2 days on Wednesday next year? I thought that 7 Mondays this year were exception for the new benchmark training that other Va school districts did over 3 days and didn’t take away from in-class student time? If was for that training, what is justification to continue and let alone, move to middle of week? Or do I have bad information and Reid did not say this?[/quote]

The half day Mondays were NEVER related to Benchmark training.[/quote]

Here you go, from a September email, emphasis added:

Limited Early Release Mondays for Elementary Schools: Steering Committee Update
As a reminder, FCPS elementary schools will have limited early release Mondays during the upcoming school year. [b]The goal is to provide elementary teachers additional time to meet new professional development requirements for the Virginia Literacy Act.[/b]

You just proved PP’s point. The Monday early release days were NOT about Benchmark. The trainings related to the VA Literacy Act are NOT Benchmark trainings. They are modules created by the state that take 27 hours to complete. [/quote]
