@7Redleg@MekkaDonMusic You’re welcome! I wish states would give districts a certain number of instructional days instead of a strict window, thus start times wouldn’t affect scores negatively.
@7Redleg@MekkaDonMusic It started when they made state tests do or die for districts. States made mandated state tests and give schools a small window to take these tests. Regardless of when schools start, the tests are at the same time, hence an advantage of starting sooner.
