OH boy, this headline in the Santa Rosa Press Democrat got my blood boiling. My oh my, how in the world is this supposed to solve the problems of the state of California. For one thing, the largest segment of any school districts budget is salaries, and these, in the case of teachers are secured by contracts. Is the State not going to honor contracts anymore?
And who actually will be served by this shortening of the school year?
Certainly not our students who need to be in school more not less time if they are to meet the demands placed by NCLB...No Child Left Behind...,
Certainly not all the parents who will suddenly have to find and pay for extra day care for that week...
Certainly not all the vendors who supply the schools for that week, Certainly not the STATE OF CALIFORNIA!
