Start date in limbo as board weighs Labor Day rule
Aiken County Board of Education may need big calendar changes if the State Board of Education enforces a rule tying the first day of school to Labor Day. The state vote allows opening no earlier than the Monday before Labor Day and no later than two days after, with Aiken schools having started Aug 12 this year. Chairman Dr John Bradley calls it a philosophical issue and an erosion of local control.
