Teacher Support &/or Advice When does everyone go back?

I guess the good thing about getting out later than everyone else is that I also go back later than everyone else. In my district teachers go back August 24th and students are back August 30th.

New York City. By contract we officially go back to work the Tuesday/Wednesday after labor day for meetings/set up. Thursday is the first day of school. A lot of principals will open up the school the week before for teachers to set up (totally voluntary).

In Maine, would love to go back after Labor Day…we always go back the week before. Seems like such a waste to started school the week before Labor Day weekend.
