Weather woes may push Michigan school starts earlier
Bad winter weather has forced many Michigan districts to cancel classes with snow days running into double digits. Fennville 12 days, Zeeland 11, Saugatuck 10, West Ottawa 10, Holland and Hamilton nine. Rep. Steve Johnson proposes a bill to let local boards set start dates before Labor Day, noting regional needs vary from touristy to rural areas. State law requires a waiver to start before Labor Day, in effect since 2006-07.
