Petition for a Traditional Calendar in Cobb County Schools

Concerned

/ #13 More information please

2012-01-18 00:24

I hate the current calendar because they pushed the Xmas break back a week for the SECOND year in a row! The last day of school in December last month SHOULD have been the 16th, and next December the last day should be the 14th (or if you insist, the 19th).

But disregarding that, I cannot vote sign either petition until I know the dates involved in the balanced calendar alternative. What date is "early August"? What are the Xmas break dates? If there is a Feb. break, will there be an April break? And what would all of this do to the end-of-school-year date?

Is there an URL I can view that shows the balanced calendar?

I suppose, though, if the balanced calendar doesn't allow a two-week Xmas break, then I couldn't support it regardless of the other details.
