Comments
Please fix your note on the calendar. The new contract agreed to a consistent calendar for mid-winter break...no more switching back and forth between having a week and not. It's always going to be a week for the rest of this contract, but this year it was shortened after the fact to make up days from the strike.
Know contract
In the editor's note, I think you mean mid-winter break, not winter break.
If there really are 2 hour early dismissals, Tier 1 elementaries will really be getting out at 12:05 all of those times?
Crazy.

I still think 12:05 is really early for Tier 1s for this years early dismissals. That is one long afternoon child care need.
