New Rochelle Teachers Consider Starting School Year Before Labor Day

The basis for this rumor is an online survey recently sent to teachers and other district employees by FUSE, the New Rochelle school union. In the survey, members were asked whether they would support or oppose starting the school year prior to Labor Day, starting with the 2015-16 school year.
