Summer break is not just a break it is an opportunity for many people to visit family that lives far away that they may not have seen in years. Summer is also an opportunity for people to make friends. It not only gives students a break but teachers to and can you imagine teaching the same thing over and over year after year? We all need more than just two months to recover mentally and physically from the ten month school year.
Allison supported: Extend Summer Break for All LCPS SchoolsA longer summer break isn't just about more time off; it's about making space for our well-being and growth. After a demanding school year, an extended break allows us to truly rest, pursue passions, and return to school feeling refreshed and ready to learn. It's an investment in our mental health and overall success!
Caleb supported: Extend Summer Break for All LCPS SchoolsStudents that work or are in sports are now unable to do those things. When class runs that late students barely have time for homework, sports, jobs or hobbies. This will hurt students more than it will help them. Finding childcare for those hours is close to impossible. This change will create issues, for staff, parents and students.
Brianne supported: Reverse Proposed School and Calendar Time Changes in Stillwater DistrictParents in the USA are expected to work (at least) 8 hours a day. For many, that is in part somewhere between 7 am and 6 pm. Schools have varying start and end times and none of those times ever correspond to a single parent’s full shift; they’re either gone before a kid leaves or working when the kid gets home.
The US is not built to support the needs of everyday people.
Eric supported: Reverse Proposed School and Calendar Time Changes in Stillwater DistrictThere are already many hurdles for working parents in terms of not only affordable child care options, but even available child care options. This schedule change would make it even harder for working parents. I see that there are possible plans to address the child care shortage, but none of those are guaranteed. We also know that older kids (middle school and high school) are able to be home alone or be self-sufficient for an earlier release time, which is not the case for young elementary school students. Many families do not have alternate options if the district does not have the bandwidth to accommodate more children in aftercare programs. Could we look towards having conversations/coming up with solutions that could address the academic success concerns, instead of a significant change and upheaval to families' schedules? I believe that we need to have solutions that can support working parents. Focusing only on academic success isn't factoring in other important pieces like the potential negative impact on parent's work schedules and stress levels, which then trickles down to the family as a whole. Supporting families, especially in the early childhood years, is so impactful and also contributes to meaningful academic success down the line.
