Winnipesaukee Forum - View Single Post - Starting School before Labor Day a Failing idea

I don't know about your NH town but in our town, students have a winter break (last week of February) and a spring break (last week of April). Where I grew up in CT, we only had one 'week long' break between Christmas and the end of the school year. Seems like we could eliminate one of those two weeks and have them start school later (after labor day) and finish school earlier? Snow days are a variable so bake a few in and go with it.
