Lise- I'm not sure when the decision was made.  It seems to get earlier each year.  And, please feel free to use the format!!! Lise Howe 

Nina- I think the schools let out earlier here, though.  

Donald- and it's time to get ready for the school zones! We go through 3 on our way to the beach. Donald Urschalitz 

Kristin- hard to believe summer is almost out the door. 

Joanna- I'm so old I remember starting school after Labor Day. 

Jeffrey- it means the season is getting ready to start!!!

Michael- I think all of this school stuff makes parents better organized. 

Brian- omg.... I just touch the tip of the iceberg. 

Beth - oh yes!  I wonder if parents are happy or moaning about going back so early.

Kathy, What happened to summer vacation? I think I would protest if I was one of the affected kids.

Does this mean that school ends early, as well? Did I understand your reference to this as that school would end at Easter vacation?

My kids both go back to school next week! I remember when I didn't go back to school when I was a kid until after the Jerry Lewis Telethon. Kids are starting school earlier and earlier!

Kathy - this is good information for all of us to be mindful of when school begins. Those school buses will be rolling down the streets again and people will have to be more mindful of time, paying attention to school speed zones and children, and of course not talking on cell phones!

You've provided excellent information and no it's time for me to pay attention to what's going on in my school district. Thanks Kathy!

Good morning Kathy.  I liked the flexibility the Governor gave the schools.;  More states need to do the same

Say it isnt so... School means fall, fall means cool, after cool comes cold then comes snow. I may have to run away to Florida.  Schools here start the first week of September

Hi Kathy.  And time to remember to stop for those school buses and watch out for the little ones when they are out walking to or from school.
