Guest Editorial Published Regarding School Calendar
The region's school have been discussing a "unified calendar" for upcoming years, and for an area that is so tourism-based, it is troubling that so many are starting before Labor Day. I wrote a letter to the editor of the Norwich Bulletin, but was told that it was too lengthy (imagine my surprise--I guess more than doubling their 200 word limit was not going to fly). Figured it was worth asking that it be printed as a special editorial, and they were kind enough to do so. If you would care to read it, it can be found at www.norwichbulletin.com, where you can search "school calendar" or "Strawberry Park" or "David Nowakowski".

You made excellent points Dave, but it seems they've been ignored. Doesn't look like the schools can get on the same page, and they are still talking about a pre-Labor Day start date of August 31. Apparently the schools are oblivious to where the money comes from to run their empires.
