Many states around us like Ohio and Indiana and some further away like Texas and Florida start school in mid-August. Their position is starting after Labor Day was based on an agricultural society, which we are not any longer, and getting out earlier, the end of May or early in June allows students to access jobs and family’s to have more of the month of June since sports start up in August even is schools do not. • Do you believe our legislature did the best thing for our state in making it mandatory to start after Labor Day or do you believe starting earlier would make more sense for our state?
