         <description><![CDATA[<div>I want this to mean that the school district actually consults us parents and solicits our input and listens to our ideas before pushing a decision like this upon us. Right now it seems as if Dr. Arsenio's agenda and the money the district gets are more important than the students with the way this was attempted to be pushed through unnoticed.&nbsp;<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Every student matters: Children come to us as whole beings. They matter. Their social and emotional well-being matters. Their learning matters. This proposal, unfortunately, does not honor the whole child or the trauma, stress, and anxiety they have experienced as a result of how this proposal has rolled out. My experience with ELT has been haphazard in this district. It has been about grabbing money rather than honoring the whole child. If every moment counts, then we must emphasize quality instruction rather than thinking that more is more. It is true that time is a valuable resource, and so, too, are the human beings with whom we work, serve, and live.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Our students in this district are more than just a number. More than just a "testing" statistic. Students may have "Lost out on learning" during this pandemic, but every teacher within this district has done their absolute best to make sure their students are still learning what they need to. Standards were still trying to be met and worked on. The rough year we have had should not be a punishment for students by adding an extra month. These students have adapted to a learning style that requires a lot of self motivation on their part, especially at the secondary level. Students are feeling the effects and the toll that virtual learning has taken on them. Sending them back a month early, is going to take an even bigger toll on them and they are going to get burnt out sooner. Those students who are already struggling and burnt out at this point in the year, need that summer vacation to wind down. Those students who are excelling in their studies will continue to do well but are eventually going to feel the effect. So, either way it is looked at, our students need that summer vacation to decompress and work up that motivation again for the upcoming school year. Don't punish our students for a virus/pandemic that is out of our control.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <title>Teachers have a finite amount of time with each student to be a part of developing who each child grows into being. Maximizing the time we have to bring out the greatest potential of each student. To achieve this, teachers address students&#39; social-emotional growth, academic development, communication and interpersonal skills, safety, inquiry that leads to a curious and life-long love of learning, and discovery of their strengths and interests. </title>

It is something all of us should continue to do - continue moving from one success to another. It is a perseverance to move beyond your current abilities. Every day is an opportunity to become better than we were the day before. Every child should be given this opportunity to become successful at the targeted goals - AND beyond. </div>]]></description>

The connections that children can make over the Summer with their families last a lifetime. I know we both understand the importance of family; and schools should not take students away from their Summer traditions.<br><br></div>]]></description>

It also means that they build family relationships at home, which I cannot help with. If they are always in the classroom, that won&#39;t happen.</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>“Every student matters” means that students and their individual needs are at the forefront of all decision making. “Every moment counts” means that we have a shared understanding that learning is about quality and not simply quantity. Making a decision like this calendar - that impacts all students and all families - does not take either of those points into account. Not all students will benefit from extending the academic calendar - many will be negatively impacted. Furthermore, simply adding instructional days does not address the quality of learning. More is not always better.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>My children have had a year off. &nbsp;The online option was the best that could happen, and it has offered our family more flexibility when allowed to start traveling again. &nbsp;While we appreciate that kids need to be kids, not having in person learning has taken a toll physically, emotionally, and psychologically on our children. &nbsp;Being able to have interaction with teachers gives my children an opportunity to seek additional help, as well as opportunities to be challenged. &nbsp;It also allows my children the opportunity to gain social skills as well. &nbsp;Having yet another long break is not the solution for the upcoming year, getting back to the classroom and offering options for children is the option we support, and are in favor of Dr Romero’s vision. &nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <title>Why add days and not minutes  to each day? Adding minutes would allow for additional instruction. It would cut down on travel expenses such as gas, cooling bills from not having to run the air conditioners for the classrooms throughout the summer ect. I keep hearing how this helps close the achievement gap... What about the students who do not need to close the gap? Why are the students who are ahead or making the academic gains that are needed going to be forced into this? I can&#39;t help but here how this is geared to fill gaps.. Or to benefit the economically disadvantaged students... Not all students have gaps. If every student matters that should be taken into account. </title>

         <title>If you cared about more time, you would stop demanding forms for every step, extra PDs of what we hear every year, and you would change the daily schedule, amount of preps, possible planning periods. You would not just use a bandaid of adding more days. You would listen to the experts: the teachers and staff.</title>

Then we changed it quickly on them and now we are asking to change yet&nbsp; again.<br><br>What I have heard is that some students need help after this year. Why not offer to those who need help and not mandate it everyone?&nbsp;<br><br>I’m also hearing a lot about younger grades and the research done there.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Teaching is the most rewarding work anyone could ever do. My students this year have made amazing progress while we were online and in the classroom. The pandemic did not slow down their learning. I believe that making kids remain in school longer over their Summer break is not the way to help them. As a teacher, I do not see strong data to support longer school years helping kids. In fact, I have seen data that suggests it can have negative effects on the students or no improvement at all. Longer school years will cause students and teachers to experience burn-out.&nbsp; Students deserve to be with their families during the Summer. The connections that children can make over the Summer with their families last a lifetime. I know we both understand the importance of family; and schools should not take students away from their Summer traditions. And what about the students that do not have that family structure or opportunity? There can be Summer camps at the schools to support these students, taught by school staff that are able to work the Summer. Maybe these programs can get students outdoors. Many students in the community help their families in agriculture or family businesses during the Summer which gives these children structure to build skills upon.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Yes, every student does matter. The issue is not with the teaching.&nbsp; Teachers are teaching and have taught throughout this pandemic and before the pandemic.&nbsp; Students need to get a better mindset that we are teaching FOR THEM. The education is there for the students to learn and take advantage of all that the teacher is presenting.&nbsp; So, why are they not learning, participating, and turning in their work?&nbsp; They are not being shown the value to THEM by the adults. Education needs to be valued by all, parents, teachers, and especially students. Until this happens, we can teach 24/7, and students still won't do their part. Give the students a break and lets work on getting everyone in NM to buy in to what the teachers are presenting.&nbsp; We are teaching quality lessons.&nbsp; We have taught harder this year than ever before.&nbsp; More days won't help. Give the teachers a break as well so that we can hit the ground running again in August like we always do. Teachers value every student!!!! We want them to succeed for THEIR BENEFIT not for us as teachers.&nbsp;<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>In the study discussed, this was an option for children who needed it.  That&#39;s a great option if the individual could benefit.  Was the curriculum, professional development, technology and money an issue?  It sounds like trying to make a financial impact is more important than ensuring higher quality education. I would love for our teachers to benefit from the funding aspect.  Why can&#39;t they receive additional (cares) funding now? I heard a lot about fixing other things as well.  I would like to support this, BUT prior to this change, we MUST first deliver a higher quality education to our children with the time we currently have.  Before I would agree to extend our school year, work MUST be done on all the other aspects mentioned before we impact our children.  Wouldn&#39;t you agree?</title>

         <title>Have you considered how families will manage child care on all those days off? Not all of us have family in the area to step in to help. and not all of us can take time off work to stay home with the kids. Summer camps are offered in the summer. What will be offered in October? What will be offered on all those one-off days? How do families manage child care when it&#39;s scattered all through the year?</title>

In fact wage earning ability in summer will be cut in half.  Athletes will be off schedule from other schools and either lose summer workouts or be stuck home during those added “breaks” throughout the year because of competitions continuing at that time.  Most of your reasoning for this was for teachers’ increased pay, and helping students that are falling behind.  These items can be addressed in other ways instead of an across the board addition of school days.  Some students are still doing well.  Many students have depression and anxiety at increasing rates, and more days in school is not going to help.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Nothing I can think of.  My kids did great this year, their teachers did an amazing job (KGE, LLMS, LLHS).  This is a slap to the face to the teachers who worked hard.  NO ONE SLACKED OFF if that is what you think!</title>

The drawback currently is - our community is split, and our children are watching us argue with each other instead of solving, together, how to improve our community for them to carry on a better LL when we are gone.&nbsp;<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>We barely made it through this pandemic, does that mean anything to you? What about the emotional well being of people who are actually in the classroom? Where&#39;s the consideration and support? It seems like you just want to be on the news again.</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This is ridiculous. Decisions were made and our kids, teachers, parents and staff suffer the consequences. I have two student with one that will be a senior next year. I imagine a lot of students dropping out, leaving thr district or taking the GED due to these impacting changes. Kids need summer and are already burnt out. Let summer school help those that struggled. I could get with extending the school day by an hour a day (1 school day made up per week), but if you want to make changes, do it next year when it is already scheduled and parents have time.&nbsp;<br><br>If the extension was due to the kids education suffering during covid, I would ask who chose the shorter schedule? Who chose to not have the electives that could be offered online? The kids didnt choose this, so why should they suffer the consequences. Kids mental health was already in question. I think thay anyone under the opinion that lengthening the school year and shortening their summer will help their mental health, is incorrect. Give them their summer. Let them be little. It goes by so fast and they need this time</div>]]></description>

         <title>We are ignoring the fact teachers are already underpaid. Adding more work to their plate for the same pay rate per contracted hour is not a &quot;raise&quot;. Increase teacher pay to bring more qualified teachers and offer more funding for social support in students with more on-site counselors. </title>
