Quit restricting school flexibility. Districts need to do what works for their communities.

This is a no brainer. It puts undo stress on the teachers, students, and parents. If they had exams before Christmas break, Seniors could go to college starting in January, or for those in 9-12 doing the whole year would not have to worry about studying or stressing about taking exams over their break.

Following the same schedule as the community college makes sense. We have many 11th and 12th graders taking Career and College Promise classes. This is an important kick start to their post-secondary education. Our current schedule hinders participation for those who do not have transportation. Please consider making out public school schedules match the community college schedule to benefit the students.

I graduated from an NC school, and always felt that I could have done better and learned more in school if the end of semester 1 made any sense. Semester 1 should be over before winter break. I have never heard a convincing argument to the contrary.

Decisions such as this should be made based on the recommendations of the teachers and administrators that know what's best for their students.

I have always said this, due to the fact that in NC chances of winter weather increases dramatically after Christmas.

I am an assistant principal at a high school. The first semester need to end early enough to allow our mid-year graduates to start college courses.

The students really need to start earlier than August 25th. Exams are so important to each student!

This makes so much sense it is sure to be ignored by our elected officials!! They usually do the exact opposite of what would benefit education and the children!! I am a retired teacher with over 33 years of experience and I know what I'm talking about!!

I think this would be a good idea becuase it will help the kids get use to what college life will be like.

I understand that some areas affected by tourism need to have an altered schedule, but the entire state should not have to "suffer". Please allow each LEA to determine what is best for their individual needs!
Definitely agree. Exams before Christmas holidays.
