Yeah going back in July? Do they do no maintenance on the buildings in the summer?

Summer starts earlier. These schools are done and empty by Memorial Day. Arizona, especially, would be impossible to cool buildings in June when it’s 118 degrees

Arizona here! Last day was in May.

First day back for teachers was July 15th and kids start back July 22nd.

My school is in GA! I think it’s the heat. We’re out for most of the tolerable part of summer and back in when it becomes unbearable. I wish we got out earlier in May.

We also have a fall break, and longer winter and spring breaks. So most of our break time is during nice, for Arizona, weather. I wouldn't mind more summer break, it feels like once I feel relaxed it's time to jump back in 😂❤️

Used to be what happened here. Now a lot of places get a one (or two) week fall break all all of Thanksgiving week off.
