SAN FRANCISCO
  School year's early start burns parents
  - Heather Knight
  Tuesday, February 8, 2005


The Board of Education is expected to approve the school district's
calendar for the 2005-06 academic year tonight -- but not before a
spirited debate among parents over when classes should begin.

  There have long been arguments among parents over whether school
should start before or after Labor Day, with the former winning out the
past several years.

  This year, however, brings a new wrinkle -- the 20th anniversary of
the Burning Man art festival in the wastelands of Nevada is scheduled
for Aug. 29- Sept. 5. In an only-in-San Francisco argument, several
parents are demanding that school start Sept. 6 so their children can
attend the event.

  Unfortunately for the Burning Man contingent, the board is expected to
set Aug. 29 as the first day of school.
