Doesn’t the earlier school start date mean our children are receiving more days of instruction?
Regardless of the school calendar, our children receive the same number of instructional days – as mandated by our legislature. The only difference is many schools have created a bloated school calendar by adding many one and two day holidays into the school year. This adds more days from the first day of school to the last, but doesn’t add one moment of instructional time to the mix.
