The argument against that is always about athletics, isn't it?
Personally? I think they should put high schools on the same sort of schedule you get at most universities. Might as well get kids used to it while they're living at home.
Makes too much sense, doesn't it?
Also, other extracurriculars come into play too, but sports is the big one.
It seems that offering YR high school options would defuse a lot of scheduling issues.
Yes, but like meh said, athletics are the big bar to that. Also, kids working summer jobs, who need to make and save money for college, would be handicapped by having to be in school all summer.
Back then I doubt they gave two hoots about what a small segment of parents thought and built according to what made sense to the community as a whole.
That is 100% correct. The inmates run the asylum here, and agree with the school board or not, they are not who I'm referring to
To be fair, it is a lot easier to manage growth for a small school district than an entire county!

As someone who worked all through high school, a year-round schedule would not have affected my earning potential that much. My managers probably would have liked it better to be honest. Easier to schedule high schoolers with different schedules than having a bunch of them all at once clamoring for more hours at the same time.
They felt the BOE substantially altered the school year and by doing so
1. violated their right to equal access to educational opportunities
2. violated the right of a parent to direct a student's education

While it was mainly about people being upset about mandatory year-round because it messed up schedules, they sued based on the 2004 NC State law that stated that public schools could not start before August 25 or end after June 10.

AP courses / exams also factor into it.
