Subject: FCPS early release Mondays- updates?
Our ES doesn't communicate with families, so I'm not expecting any news until the first day of school.

What does this have to do with the teachers union? They had nothing to do with it. Perhaps you can cite something that shows otherwise.
You don't think it's a coincidence they're going with half days, which are good for teachers, but terrible for kids and families?
The half days are because of Youngkin’s literacy act, not teacher unions.
Did that act specify half days to accommodate the training? No, it didn't.
That was a SB decision. There was no “bargaining” on this.

This wasn't a union action-- it was decided before the collective bargaining agreement. It happened because elementary principals really pushed for it as a solution to the lack of planning time for elementary teachers.
Even now there is no CBA. Not yet.

I’m waiting to find out which Mondays and any plans for after care for families not in regular after care. No communication yet from our school, curious about others.
Now it’s in the hands of the steering committee and the individual schools.

We just had a newsletter Friday that listed the dates for our school. I think it's all on the FCPS website, though, if you search. I think there are two different groups of dates depending on your school.
There was not any reference to the school providing childcare for those who need it, though, which I think the Superintendent said would be available.

As are now in the second half of summer, has anyone heard more from their school directly about plans for early release Mondays, beyond the initial county announcements?
