I think that the school year should be shortened to 160 days because my son has asthma and he is on the bus during the hottest month of the year with no air conditioning. The Kids lose most of their summer vacation.
Years ago it was September and I think it should go back to that. It's too hot in August which would save taxpayers on high power bills from trying cool down these classrooms.
I agree with this 100% and I am a retired teacher. Open house is on July 31st this year...JULY 31ST...this is ridiculous!
I went to school in PA. We started Tuesday after labor day and got out June 5th through 10th. We had 180 days. Please reduce # of days to 160, but increase each day by 1 hour. That would be the equivalent of 20 8 hour days that are being dropped from school year. Thank you for your time.
During my travels this summer, I discovered states that have laws to keep schools from starting before september. Our county does not have air on the regular ed buses and we are starting earlier and earlier. I would rather get out in the first of June than start in Aug. With temps of 110° on parked buses.
Give our babies a full summer like we had as children. Let them start later in the year like we did growing up!! We survived and we are smart, give our babies that chance too!
I belive my children should have a longer summer

Yes, I believe this needs to happen. Two months is not long enough for summer breaks when you have 2 parents working, younger siblings and trying to get time scheduled off together to take vacations and even to buy school clothes and supplies.
