I had no idea [before reading the link] that RR schools opened on Aug. 13. Never heard of schools opening that early, anywhere. To me, pushing it back to Aug. 23 still seems like an early start!
It's earlier than before we moved, but has been this way since moving to NM.

And it is also last year's schedule. APS schools start on Aug. 20th this year which is 8 days later than last year.
That's too bad about the entire RR district starting so much later. They're going to have to make all those days up which may mean a shorter winter break and staying longer at the end of the year. The state used to count the hours, so they could have made up part of the time by adding some extra minutes to each school day, but starting this year, the state is counting days, not hours.
That is for Albuquerque Public Schools to show Tim Rankin they normally are sceduled to start about the same time as Rio Rancho
When we were there, out daughter wasn't in school yet, but I guess it makes sense that Albuq and RR are similar. I guess I was comparing it to schools back east, esp. when I was in school in southwestern PA...
