Amy, when I was still in school they always started anywhere from aug 21 through the 28th...depending on what year because they would rotate. but my senior year was the last of that and the school board wanted to have an earlier school start and an earlier summer start so that they can keep the two semesters with exams on either side of winter break. i guess it makes more sense, but aug is the real summer down here! oh well!

I'll keep you posted.
