Well I can tell you, up here, fall (autumn) is going to start tomorrow around 6:00 PM, end around 4:30 in the morning and winter will explode upon us. I am really looking forward to the START of winter, I'm sure by February and the 5th month of sub freezing weather I will be ready so shoot someone, but for now I'm looking forward.
MY son starts back on Wednesday. I think they're starting earlier to build in the snow days for some areas. Plus then they can get out of school a little earlier at the end of the year *shrug*
I always started before labor day, usually 2 weeks before, so this feels about right to me. Then again, I went to Military school, so days were longer and the year was longer.

When I was a kid, I went to K-2 in PA and 3-12 in FL - in both states we started the week before Labor Day, went for 5 days, then had a 3 day weekend for the Labor Day holiday. However, things vary district to district in PA quite dramatically as to when you start/finish and the holidays you get. FL was somewhat uniform throughout the state because the state dictated things, not the local school boards like in PA.
So long as there isn't any teacher strikes, I think the Brookville, Brockway and DuBois districts start next monday.
