So they can count the hours and it counts as a day. Nothing like having your administration gaming the rules.

If they’re dismissed before lunch, is it a day? I thought there was some rule about lunch had to be served to count as a day. But I’m not sure if CR is still on days or if they moved to the hours criterion.
My old high schools block scheduling on an early out day had the first lunch shift at 10:15 AM.
I believe my kids elementary starts serving at or just before 11 on a normal day.
It's splitting hairs but since I'm work from home
The 10:15 meal is "Second Breakfast" here. Followed by lunch, snack, second snack, and then snack with the kids.
My Jr at Wash had his being served at 10:30am. He's just going home for the day.
This was probably far enough back that days were counted instead of hours for schools.
To those wondering what constitutes as a "school day" on early release days for Iowa:
12.1(9) Minimum school day. A school day shall consist of a minimum of 5½ hours of instructional time for all grades 1 through 12. The minimum hours shall be exclusive of the lunch period. Passing time between classes as well as time spent on parent-teacher conferences may be counted as part of the 5½-hour requirement. The school or school district may record a day of school with less than the minimum instructional hours if emergency health or safety factors require the late arrival or early dismissal of students on a specific day; or if the total hours of instructional time for all grades 1 through 12 in any five consecutive school days equal a minimum of 27½ hours, even though any one day of school is less than the minimum instructional hours because staff development is provided for the instructional professional staff or because parent-teacher conferences have been scheduled beyond the regular school day.

Saw dew point at nearest NWS station to me is 78 degrees. Woof. Thought I'd check the CF weather thread to see how Iowa peeps were doing.
And found the thread has gone school lunch............

Was explaining to the 5 year old how my elementary school did not have AC.
We'd stew in our own juices while trying to hear the teacher over the industrial fan. He looked at me like I was insane.
As they said on Bluey:
Did they ask why you didn’t just turn up the volume on your Chromebook to hear the teacher?
No, but I have him half convinced that I rode the family dairy cow to school because we couldn't afford a horse.
There is absolutely a generation gap working.
