[quote=Anonymous][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]

The pools are empty in Augist.[/quote]

Not that pool use should be the metric -- but they are empty in August because (1) everyone has had enough swim time by then and it's old news, and (2) many people leave town for vacations in Aug b/c Congress shuts down.  So, yes, pools are generally not very full in Aug.  People are excited about summer in June/right after Memorial Day.  By August, they are looking toward the next thing and summer is a has-been.[/quote]
