What are some other implications of getting out of school in mid-May and starting in early August?
Older students may have a broader choice and access to getting summer jobs and industry internships before other schools are out. However, some of those jobs may need someone who can work through August when these students would have to return to school. Some families may have difficulty finding childcare and worthwhile activities for their children in May since many summer sports leagues, camps and other programs don’t begin until the majority of schools are out in early June. Students may further be precluded from participating in summer sports leagues and other camps that extend into August when students would already be returning to school.
