#200: - School calendar and the school system in general !

You ask what other counties are saying?? Fulton (with a higher performance than Cobb) has an August 23rd start date.  The people from other states - who start after Labor Day, are enjoying their August with their extended families who live across the country.  Florida has mandated a later school start.  The top performing states in the country all have a later school start.  We have been unable to attend family reunions, etc. with our Indiana, Connecticut, Texas, Illinois extended family - because of what the prior school board did.  I cannot understand the passionate outcry on this subject...
