Please restore the late August or early September start date for the fall semester. Starting school in the middle of August is just too early. August is still summer time, when many families traditionally take their vacations. It is also one of the hottest times of the year, so that scarce educational resources must be spent on cooling. Most importantly, starting school during the middle of the summer is detrimental to the education of our children.

The current momentum confirms that this issue has broad backing across the district. I am now preparing a formal summary of these concerns to present to the school board during the upcoming public hearing.

AC bills are ridiculous. My kids school is like a freezer but the building is old and it barely works. Waste of tax money.

The kids are exhausted from the heat before the first bell even rings. Needs to change back.

August is for swimming and relaxing. Its way to hot to be sitting in a classroom doing work. Let kids be kids.

Totally agree. We have a trip planned for late august and now it feels like we are missing school. Stop pushing the date up.
