I like having the extra breaks, but feel that the beginning of August is too early to begin. I think it would be better to have school start in late August, or after Labor day and end in June. Other idea is add a break in October or February, but make Winter break only 1 week.

First week of August is way to early.

Too hot - causing needless distraction and discomfort for children that can easily be avoided.

Also, first week of August would put Cobb out of synch with the overwhelming majority of regional/national Summer programs (camps, sports, employment, honors programs, etc.), and reduce the number of opportunities available for Cobb students to learn/earn/enjoy.
