[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In many places, spring break is not tied to Easter, even in the deep south.

I think parents here mostly want school closings tied to religious holidays so they can travel to be with family. In many places, that is really not so much a concern. [/quote]

In this case why the week before Easter? On the many years they don't have the Monday off, you would need to travel home on the actual holiday to be back in time for school on Monday. Wouldn't it make more sense to have the week after Easter off so that families can travel Friday night or Saturday, and then be with their family for the whole day of the holiday?

Personally I'd love a week decoupled from Easter, but I didn't love when they tried to do early March. For those who can't afford to travel, the weather here in Early March is usually miserable and for those who can afford to travel, many destinations are filled with college kids. I'd support last week of March (e.g. always start 4th Monday of March), first week of April, or second week of April. Some years would end up with Easter tied to it and some wouldn't. [/quote]
