[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private pools should not dictate the school calendar.

The best interests of the students and their education should be the first priority of the school board, with teachers' needs being second.

The sustainability of private clubs should be irrelevant to the school board's obligations.  But, for those of you who prioritize pools -- I'm sure Megan McLaughlin will be voicing your opinions to the board.  She was against starting Aug. 28th.  I'm sure she'll be against starting any earlier.  FWIW, there were several on the school board last time who asked if at least some schools could start 2 weeks earlier.  They were told no.  The board did discuss going two weeks earlier (instead of 1 week) and it was decided that they would ease into the "before Labor Day" start by doing only one week prior... at first.  There was support for starting two weeks earlier but they didn't want to take 2 weeks off summer break to start that first year. [/quote]

So we need a waiver because of the Kings Dominion law, but local pools should not be considered? They are a factor. They should not dictate anything, but they can be a factor in considering when to start school.[/quote]
