A bill in the Ohio House of Reps at the moment wants to go the other way - limiting Ohio schools to not starting before Labor Day or finishing after Memorial Day. It wouldn't technically shorten the number of school days but would instead switch us to counting school hours - 960 hours a year for grades 1-6 and 1050 hours for grades 7-12.
Longer year...shorter year...
PLC...Effective Schools...
Teach to the test...project based learning...
OPT...OGT...Quality Core...
Be creative...data-driven practices...
To quote a friend from Mount Healthy, the golden age of education is right around the corner.

Same boat over here... State Super wants to lengthen school year (he won't count hours like we used to, instead it is a day of attendance) and the legs. wants to start after Labor Day.
Fun times
