[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Swim season and marching band are 9 weeks just on their own. NVSL is huge in this area. People want to go on vacation as a family. They need two weeks outside of swim and preseason high school activities to do so. [/quote]

People are going to be like - swim is no reason to change the school calendar.  Well guess what - there is no academic reason to change the school calendar either.  [b]The most academic reason anyone can come up with is AP tests & which affects such a small subset - I think it hardly justifies changing the calendar for 180,000.[/b]  Those kids are the top of the top - they could study on their own before school starts if they really wanted to.  [/quote]

But summer recreational swim team does?  I suspect there are a lot more AP students in school than summer swim team members.  My neighborhood has an active swim team and I'm confident there are more AP students that live here.[/quote]

No, just saying there's no articulable academic reason either.  So at least admit that you all prefer your chosen start for personal reasons.[/quote]
