Mandating Post Labor Day School Starts is Wrong
Sen. Gerald Hocker really wants schools to start after Labor Day. I mean he really really wants this. First was the Legislative Task Force to Study Post Labor Day School Starts back in 2014. Then Hocker introduced legislation in 2015 to require all schools to start after Labor Day. It passed the Senate but went nowhere in the House. So, we fast forward to 2017 and guess what, Hocker introduces new legislation, S.B. 18, to require all schools to start after Labor Day.
