San Francisco public school students would have to pack their backpacks and head to school in 2010 in a week earlier than they do now if the School Board adopts a new academic calendar this week.
On the plus side, summer vacation would then start a week earlier in the spring, in fact before Memorial Day. (On the down side, students would see one less week of summer fun next year.)
Under the proposed calendar, school next year would start on August 16, 2010, and end on May 27, 2011. To see the proposed calendar go to the PDF’s page 59 of the School Board agenda.
The School Board will consider the calendar change at their regular meeting at 6 p.m., Tuesday, June 9 at 555 Franklin Street.

So what do the parents out there think? Is this a good or bad thing, or does it make any difference at all to your families?
