They added in some 2 hour late starts and a few 3 hour early outs that we have to do training.Way back in the olden times, that was the reasoning behind my school years timing. None of the schools had a/c so they didn't start until after Labor Day and ended before Memorial Day. It was still blasted hot somedays but summer was longer. Also, we didn't have soooo many days throughout the school year when school was closed for teacher in-service days and such.

I’m thankful we are in the new part of the school. We have air conditioning. I’m not sure if the old part does. It never used to. They may have added it when they built the new part.
