You want school to go until June 23rd? |

And if they have to add makeup days to the year they could go as late as June 30th. |

Yes I do - I prefer the later August start. |

Note that in each of these the first day of school is the Tuesday of that week as the Monday will be a transition day again. |

| Oh I hope they go with D. Labor day is just too late to start just one week before — and I prefer an earlier spring break. |

| How many instructional days/how many snow days built in? |
Anonymous
Only one snow day built in. 181 instructional days. |

Ugh. So with options A and B there's a decent chance of school going into the week of June 28th, then (if there's more than 3 snow days.) |

Yup. They should at least get back to having 182 instructional days like they did before this year, especially considering how poorly they manage the makeup days. |

Yup. That's why they are more likely to go with one of the other 2. |

June 23 as the last day? It should be June 16 or 17. The 2020-21 school year went August 31-June 17.
Why are they closed September 11 and April 21? I hope the former isn't commemorating 25 years since being attacked. |

Because of the 180 rule, they need to eliminate the closures after the 1st and 3rd quarter. The 2nd quarter may need it since it's also the end of the 1st semester. Some schools in certain parts of the country don't even have a day off between semesters let alone after every quarter! Winter break should be two weeks especially when Christmas falls late in the week as many people won't be there the days right before December 24. Many school districts across the country take two weeks regardless of what day of the week Christmas and January 1 fall on even if they are on a weekend or Monday so money shouldn't be a reason to not close 2 weeks. I think some people simply aren't used to it. |
