/ #520 School Calender

2011-03-01 15:22

I believe that the new calender was not given a chance and the votes were ignored. As a employee and a parent of two children in the county, I think the breaks allowed the children time to rest without losing all that they have learned. The staff was also in a better mood and overall the school atmosphere was better. My daugter in middle school is disappointed that the board changed after only trying the calender for less than a year. The calender was voted on for three years. Not only are adults disappointed, but the messasge to our children is that our voice doesn't matter. Please reconsider the calender.
