I always thought the Lakes Region depended on the college and HS kids to work in the summer resorts and restaurants. How can they do that if they have to be back in school?

Hi nj2nh -- yes, the majority of schools both here and in MA start before Labor Day. Up until about 6 years ago, the school district I live in started after but apparantly the NH Superintendants meet at least annually and decided to make the districts more uniform at one of those meetings, and we began starting before Labor Day at that time. I hate it, we always took the last week of August through Labor Day for vacation and would just have son miss the first couple of days of school; once he hit 4th grade, however, where school becomes "school", we stopped that. Now I have a new word for the Superintendants -- Stupidintendants.
