Live in the ATL area and we have off week of Sept 15th..

Just curious-there is no Fall break in New York. Why is there a break so early in the school year?
There are a lot of schools in WI that have Oct. 30 & 31st off this year.

Thanks everyone for responding!
I'm going 10/21-10/30 and I'm hoping there aren't too many fall breaks that week!![]()
Our district gets two weeks off in the fall: Oct 13-24. I've always thought it would be a great time to go to WDW, but it hasn't ever worked out.
ETA- part of the reason we get such a long break is that we start early, July 31 this year!
I don't think it matters anymore. Disney is always crowded, it seems.
And on a side note, do these kids ever go to school?
We start around Aug. 20th and get out around June 5th. My family in Indiana starts Aug 1 and gets out around the same time as we do, but they get two weeks for Fall and Spring Break versus our one week off for each.
