How Bad Is It?
Hawaii trims school weeks to 4 days
"Thousands of parents in Hawaii have been scrambling to make childcare arrangements before today's closure of all state schools in an attempt by the education authorities to cut costs.
All 256 of Hawaii's state schools will be closed in the first of 17 ''furlough Fridays'' over the school year, bringing a drastic cut in school time for up to 171,000 children.
The reduction of the school weeks from five to four days will be in place for at least two years.
The leave days are the most draconian measure yet taken in the US, where the recession has forced many states to slash public services."
Well hell, now everybody can go play a round in their new government subsidized golf carts.
