[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School needs to start mid Aug. That would give enough time for 1 week for thanksgiving, 2 weeks for winter, 1 week for spring break as well as religious observances. Summer break is 10-11 weeks. It's too long. We need to steal some time from summer and reallocate it to the other break weeks.[/quote] +1 That's far better than what we have now...and minimizes the learning loss. But will the tourism and summer camp industry allow it after lobbying against it for decades?[/quote] Or will we get push back from the teachers' union. I agree though- this is the most logical solution. It's also love year- round school to be considered. [/quote] If you followed the debacle that was Roscoe Nix Elementary and the overwhelming decision last school year by that community to lobby the BOE to return to a traditional calendar, you would know that year-round school is not a tenable option in this county.[/quote]
