| reply to Jeffrey Change the School Year
In Central and South Florida, the school year should end on Oct 31 and begin after the start of the new year.
When it's a billion degrees outside, some kids would rather be in the air conditioning; truancy may decrease.
Teachers would get time off when the tourist season would make more jobs available.
Families would be on vacation during the holidays when travel is more desirable.
Having an operational year same as the calendar year might be cheaper to maintain.
We already have hundreds of school districts on year round and other modified schedules so the differing district schedules is proven not to be a problem.
