School Starts Tomorrow

[eeyore0062]

We never start before Labor Day. In these parts, it is known at the "King's Dominion" rule. When they tried to move up the starting date to before Labor Day, the theme park King's Dominion (now owned by Paramount parks), had a fit, because it was taking away their local help during the day, and they didn't go on a weekend schedule until after Labor Day. They tried again last year, and the merchants at Va Beach had a fit, as did the parents... so if a school system wants to start before Labor Day, they have to get a waiver to do it. And it is easier said that done!

DS goes back 8/14 and I'll go back 8/21. I hate when they start before Labor Day. You just get back in the groove and you're off for Labor Day.
