[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is a straightforward calendar from a state/metropolitan area with a diverse population https://resources.finalsite.net/images/v1756930407/mplsk12mnus/ge5clwh0shgydwvthwbs/SYCalendar-English-2026-27.pdf

Put it out there and if people don’t like it there is always private school, home school, or excused absences.

Oh look, this year Minneapolis is also closed Monday/Tuesday for Presidents Day weekend and is giving 3 days off for Memorial Day due to Eid.

I'm a native Minnesotan and for whatever reason, we always had one of the lowest number of school days required.  Started after Labor Day, ended the first week of June.  Looks like only Colorado is lower

I’m a native New Yorker. [b]school always started   Tuesday after labor day and we ended school the Friday before Father’s Day.[/b] There was never any change. Parents loved this so they knew when to plan vacations annually. The dates for first and last day of school never changed. We rarely had more than 2 snow days in a row off[/quote] Labor Day was September 1 (earliest date) and Father's Day is June 21 (latest date) so either school is a week longer or they end a week before Father's Day.[/quote]
