While I believe that school should not be scheduled around what is seen by most (but certainly not all) Austintown students as a social event, I do believe that the current, after-Labor-Day start is not inappropriate for Austintown. If all Austintown teachers and faculty truly dedicated themselves to educating students, there would not be an issue with passing the OGT. In my opinion, Austintown BOE, Administration, and staff members need to focus on how to best educate students, not which days they go to school and what they will wear on those days.
Early school start being considered
