Parents, teachers plus students all have different opinions on when the school year should begin.

Sydney Kern from KDLT reports on a study that was done showing the pre-Labor Day start is getting mixed reaction.

In 2015, voters decided to push the start date to after Labor Day.

During a community input session, the Sioux Falls School District presented three different calendar choices for the upcoming school year.

All had the start date landing before Labor Day on August 20, 22, and 23, since a recent survey showed parents wanted to go back to starting school before the holiday.

But that confused some parents.

Sioux Falls resident Rhonda Lockwood: What I’m mystified is that calendar number one is the calendar we had that took it to a vote.

One of the main concerns with the start date is when the first semester tests will fall for high school students.

With an earlier start date, those tests will fall before Christmas break.
