Students attending Fairfax County Public Schools, the largest school district in northern Virginia, have the most days off and the fewest five-day school weeks of any other school system in the nation.

But they are going to honor the following holidays:
Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday
Eid al-Fitr
Eid al-Adha
Juneteenth
Diwali
Juneteenth
Are they even in school on June 19th or is just a teacher staff day off. My school district will only be in school if they have too many snow days that are not converted into alternative learning days (kids take out prepared lessons and work on them at home).
My school got rid of Presidents Day and kept King Day. Then, held a “No Kings” rally.
"Only five of the county’s 25 high schools have an average SAT score above the minimum points considered acceptable to get into a competitive college."
"Parents are rightfully frustrated"
So why don't they do something about it? They must like things the way they are.
By the way, how are students doing in Florida? North Carolina? Georgia? South Carolina? Texas?
Plus de dumbassery.
One major reason that Islamists underachieve is a lack of IQ. We go to schools to improve our IQ.
So why do we allow ‘the stupid’ to use their lower standards to drag everyone else down? It there a STUPID ... oh wait, we have idiots on our school boards pushing DEI (who can’t even spell ‘die’).
I wonder how many ghost students are enrolled in this district...
How many ghost teachers are on the payroll...
Note to parents: Hint, hint...
And dropping a dime on families here illegally will send a message, too..
And only a few miles of where thousands are buried (including my father and mother) that gave their lives to protect these un grateful shits freedoms and liberties.
It is even worse in Gwinnett County, Georgia.
The state’s largest school district just ANOTHER DEI school superintendent. She has never led a school district with over 2,000 kids, now she is in-charge of a district with over 100k students. AND she plans on promoting diversity and unity. She was the only candidate considered.
It used to be an honor to graduate from GCPSD. Now kids can barely read or write and forget ever learning math skills.
Whether or not school is still in on 19 June depends on the year. More often than not the school year ends before that, but our kids (in FCPS) have had years that ended on the 20th or 21st.
Maybe Florida would lend DeSantis to Georgia for a while.
I should add - this year the last day of normal school ends 17 June. 18 June is officially a teacher workday - then 19 June is a holiday.
So this year it really is only a holiday for the teachers, but if the school year had ended a week earlier (very possible the way the calendar moves around from year to year) that would have been a holiday for summer school students as well - as is July 4 every year.
Many on Gwinnett Co are illegal.
The Dims here in Northern Virginia don’t vote in school board members to improve their kids’ education. They vote in the people that will demonstrate the Dim voters’ liberalism, so they can say, “Look at how progressive we are!”
...as though “liberalism”/”progressivism”/wokery were something to be proud of.
