[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Options A and B-no way. So they shortened summer last year and want to shorten it again this year? Wow. That's harsh.  Kids in sports and band would start camps a week earlier-that means near the end of July? Weather can't always been depended on in early June. We like to buy a pool membership but probably would not if options A or B were chosen.  We would barely make use of it. It was bad enough they started before Labor Day this year. It was tough for my kids and a lot of other kids I know.[/quote]

I would also choose option C for similar reasons. Think about the pools in the area that would lose memberships if school started a week earlier than this. Will we start to see some close for good because of financial reasons? With college kids back in school and now the high schoolers they can't staff the pools. In many neighborhoods there's not only the social aspect but employment opportunities. Our high schoolers lost basically a week of work last summer I would hate to see them lose two. Like it or not those clubs play an important role in NoVA.[/quote]
