/ #558 School Calendar Cobb County

I find it disheartening that the board would survey the parents, teachers and students then completely disregard the opinion of the majority of the people surveyed. The new calendar should remain in place for the three years that it was originally approved for to give it a fair chance. It's a good calendar that just had a few kinks to be worked out. It's easier for working parents to have a shorter summer and my kids seems to lose more skills over a long summer break than over shorter breaks spread throughout the year. Please reconsider.
