I know scheduling the school year is a tricky task because the government mandates certain holidays but not all. Students are required to complete a certain number of hours before writing diploma exams and so on.
However why is it, the bureaucracy as a whole can't decide the first day of school should be after the labour day long weekend. I don't want to argue or debate about who is at fault, the board or the provincial government. I don't see why everyone can't agree this is a sensible decision.
It is particularly true in St. Paul because of the LRA Rodeo. Very few children are going to be ready to return to school with rodeo activities happening. I think we should set a provincial rule, school should not begin until after the long weekend in September and work the rest of the schedule around that.
