Millions of $ wasted on data collection and analysis only to just do whatever the heck they want.
Waste.

It preserves 6 religious holidays and observes all federal holidays except Veterans Day. So no changes there either.

I can’t get over them patting themselves on the back for creating stability in the calendar with this motion when they are literally codifying the same parameters for a calendar that created this hellish school year.

+1. Republic don't function without 2 (possibly more, but in the US usually 2) functional parties.

Functional being key here. Maybe the other side should have options that are not associated with Moms for Liberty type BS.

Veterans Day has been a school day for most of the recent past. And it was great because the kids actually learned about a veterans.

I don’t disagree with making it a school day again as it was in the past. I’m more just pointing out that they voted to change nothing else despite public outcry. If they keep all those religious holidays and the mandatory 2 weeks for winter break and the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and 2 TW/SP days at the end of every quarter … it’s only going to be a matter of time before we get another bad calendar like there was this year. Next school year and I believe the one after that have the religious holidays mostly falling on weekends.
