1 <br />~~ <br />Association. "It's only a matter of time before a majority of kids are going to school at the end of July. <br />Current school calendars also leave businesses short of summer help as teenagers return to school. <br />"It's a problem having children to go back so early from an employment perspective," said Jim Godfrey, president <br />of the N.C. Travel Council and a retired business leader in Kinston. He said the Kinston Indians minor-league <br />baseball team often loses teenage workers in August. <br />Yet education leaders worry that the calendar bill would put the needs of businesses above those of schools. <br />"It sort of lets the school calendar become dependent on the needs of business and industry, like it did under the <br />old agrarian calendar," said Eddie Davis, vice president of the N.C. Association of Educators. "The education of <br />children becomes dependent on the needs of the work force." <br />A© Copyright 2003, The News & Observer Publishing Company.
