But you end sooner, right?? Our school year starts after Labor Day and was supposed to end June 19th. Now we're ending June 24th due to Sandy, subject to change if snow days get used.

Wow, that is early. Our teachers are going back the 19th this year, and MAN they are not happy about it. My wife volunteers at the school and the chatter today around the regular staff is bad. No one is happy about the change, and, just as it makes me feel better, it appears they are already not expecting all the students to make it there the first week this year. We have friends ourselves that have a European trip planned for late August that they setup over 2 years ago. No way they are changing it.

Frustrating to say the least.

yup. we get out on May 23rd. We get to leave for our vacation before most schools are out! I still feel August 13th is waaay too early, but I do like getting out before Memorial Day!

Our district made the 2 days up from sandy by going to school over the 2 NJEA convention days since the convention was cancelled
