[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that going until June 17 this year is excessive, however, my kids (7th and 10th grades) are still taking tests through at least June 5. I know because we were going to take them out of school that Friday for a family event and decided not to because they both have major tests that day.

There is always a wind down for school, no matter when you end. Also, with a GIANT school district like ours, the last two weeks need to be devoted to high school graduations. Unless you want high school graduations to take place after the school year is done for everyone, ending in May is not going to work. Is that what school districts who end at Memorial Day do? Just have high school graduation the weeks after school is over?

I personally would hate to have them start in early August. I think all they needed to do this year is figure out 3 days to not take and end June 12. That would have been a reasonable summer with the first day back on August 24, 2026. [/quote]

Most of the school districts that end by Memorial Day host senior graduations the 2 weeks in May leading up to Memorial Day.

For example, my home district ends by Memorial Day.  Graduation is the Minday or Tuesday following the last AP exam, around or a little after May 15th.[/quote]
