[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone have any smart guesses about what they'll do?  After all the fuss about the Hogan EO,  and the veto override, I can't imagine they'll go back to a post-Labor Day start.  I know that, just prior to the EO, they were considering moving the start time back a week -- to mid August instead of late August.  Anyone know whether that's back on the table?[b] I rely on you guys that track the insider info![/b][/quote]
You don't need insider info. You just need to know the pattern of the usual school calendar and the state mandated holidays and then look at the actual calendar to figure out the basics of what will happen. Labor day is late and we have election day and inauguration day to be off. The only way to fit 1st semester in reasonably is to start Aug 31. That should put end of 1st qtr at 11/4 (Wed  :roll: ) and with MLK on 1/18, I'd bet that 1/19 would be the professional day between semesters, 1/20 off, and 2nd semester starts 1/21. (At least, I hope that's what they do, because otherwise that 3rd week of January becomes just a total mess for getting anything done.)

FWIW - one of the things that I think works well in states with an early or mid-August start is that they end their 1st semester before winter break. I think that flows much better for students and is just more in line with the college patterns (and associated camps/programs staffed by college students).[/quote]
