#CloseLCPS

After SOL testing is complete, students are finished learning.

Let us out 15 days early or give us a longer Easter vacation. Do something lcps goes longer then any county around. Bot just students but all staff too.

Please close LCPS sooner in the school calendar year as we have not used any of our 15 snow days. Thank you.

Every county school system I have ever been associated with (student/parent), that has a schedule built around inclement weather, adjusts their end-of-year when those days go unused. Educators create lesson plans and develop pacing based on a certain number of instructional days. Asking them to develop an extra three weeks of material because weather allows seems unfair.

I support this petition and feel that children, teachers and the administrators will benefit in the long run.

I'm an employee (teacher) and wonder why Fairfax and prince William have extra days they get back and we don't? If they weren't I wouldn't be as opinionated on the topic but it seems u fair especially since we have the most snow days built into our calendar. Please consider this!!!

I support this petition as an LCPS teacher.

Close LCPS

With next year starting so early, an earlier end to this year would give my family more time to travel and explore together, visit friends and family, and enjoy some pool time. It would also save on this year's operating expenses, like transportation, food services, and personnel. It would also allow the classroom construction at various schools to proceed without disrupting learning time.

Shorten the year

Please review the closing can be done earlier by utilizing the now days

The School Year should end earlier. The last few weeks are never productive. Save the money, let them out early.

If tests are already set and scheduled for May and June, please give families a much longer Spring Break. Ours (at least) need to visit colleges. Thank you for any consideration

Next school year is starting way too early, you are taking our summer from us , so yes please make this year shorter. Thanl you

Let parents have the time to travel and educate their children with world experience. Let's use this opportunity granted by mother nature to expand the kids minds.

This extra time would allow my children to spend extra time in Ireland with their Irish grandparents, who they see once a year. Would be so great!

I agree

With the county's focus on mental health awareness this year, this should be an easy decision. ALL students and staff need to find a sense off balance in life. The children need opportunities to explore and learn outside of the classroom. With the school year starting so early in August this fall, the summer is already cut short and these 'snow days' would be a nice trade off. Teachers will have to get their rooms ready with two less days in the fall and are already stretched too thin. Thank you for your serious consideration.

As a recent graduate from high school , pleaseeeee let these students enjoy their summer break early. After SOL's it's always boring and nothing but movies and nearly empty classes anyway! If there's no snow days, then these students deserve those 15 days! Come on loudoun county and stop trying to be the best of the best all the time.

Help these poor teachers out!! The children are our future!
