[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There have been a million calendar threads.  Parents were surveyed.  Clearly you didn’t want what others did.  [/quote]

There is no way anyone voted for the schedule as is.  No one likes it, no one.  Starts early, ends late.  Tons of random days off.[/quote]

Op here. I was just with some people at the beach and they are all starting school after Labor Day. How is it that we are starting 2 weeks later but getting out later in mid June??? Ugh. [/quote]

Because you elected idiots to the School Board.  They decided on the calendar. [/quote]

It wasn’t better before the current SB. They used to have early release every Monday, school started after Labor Day, there was a two week Christmas break, and if we got any snow, the kids were in school until June 25.  Part of diversity, which you all claim to want, is that other people’s holidays are built into the calendar. If you don’t like it, send your kids to middle school.  As a working parent, you have to pay for child care. It is the cost of doing business.  The alternative is a longer summer and then working parents have to pay for expensive camps. [/quote]

“Middle school” should be “catholic school”.[/quote]
