You wonder what the big deal is. There is no solution that will make everybody happy and I agree with post number 1 and 6. 

The best solution is based on common sense. Which I believe is April for a number of reasons:

-February is very short notice, potential snow days during the snow day or even after the break.

-End of June has no educational value because of the heat and general attitude at that time of the year.

If families have vacation plans then by all means go and don&#039;t send your children for those couple of days. The schools will understand.  Not that that doesn&#039;t happen with a lot of families during the year anyways. If you are worried that they may miss something make sure to get the material from the teacher and make them do it at home, on the plane or at your vacation spot.
But at least the other x% of children will have the option to attend school (and maybe even learn something).
