School Board to Consider Shortening School Year

Received through FCPS Outreach on March 23, 2012:

The School Board will be considering revisions to the 2011-12 school year since, so far, FCPS has used only one of its three weather-related makeup days.  At its March 29 regular meeting, the board will begin to consider whether to schedule the last day of school for Friday, June 15, rather than on Tuesday, June 19, as noted in the current school calendar.  It will vote on the change at its April 12 meeting. If the board approves the calendar change, it will reassign June 18 and 19 as teacher workdays. However, if any unforeseen emergency closings should be required, schools may require make-up days.  FCPS will keep parents informed once a decision is made by the School Board. For details on the agenda item under consideration, please visit the School Board web site at http://www.boarddocs.com/vsba/fairfax/Board.nsf/goto?open&id=8SLKT8535FEA.

Stay tuned to the Fairfax County Public Schools website for more information.
