When does Long Island school summer break start? (Columbus: spring break, amusement parks)

[Tiger_Scout]

So I don't have to leave as early to get to work.

I think most are out by June 26th which is just crazy. Most states been out for weeks now. And most schools don't even have ac.

Roc is pretty spot on.
It depends upon how many snow days the district had to add back in but within a day or so of that will be the last day.

Works out fine since we go on vacation late August when most other kids are back in school. Makes for less lines at amusement parks, Disney, etc.

Not having AC is moot since they'd be back in school in August without AC when it's even hotter.

Are other teachers working the same amount of days?

because labor day is late this year (9/7). And NYC schools start after Labor day.

And it doesnt help that Long Island schools have a lot more days off during the school year compared to other states.

Private schools in NYC seem to have fewer than 180 days.

That's what I was asking - is this true and by how many?

Not for our town it doesn't.

Anyway, my point is Sept 1 week for week 1 would be great. But... unions.

The public school year is 180 instructional days regardless of where you live.

We start the last week of August in NC - used to be earlier but the tourism board fought it and finally won. We will go back the 24th this summer.

We don't get the Jewish holidays, Columbus Day, or a week in February. We also seem to get less time off at spring break although we seem to get a longer Christmas break. My kids have been done since June 4/5, although the last "official day" was June 8 (mine all "graduated" and at our schools traditionally get the last day off when they are promoting out of the school - this is not the case with most of the schools here though).

Public HS graduation here starts the first weekend in June and continues through that following week.

One of my kids is going to Catholic HS in the fall, he starts August 12th, I think.

I have heard of some northeastern schools starting before Labor Day in case of snow days.
