How we keep it honest
We list 100 districts so far, in 28 states. A district appears only after we have read its own calendar page or PDF and found a first day, a last day and at least two breaks. Dates we cannot confirm stay off the site. Each page shows the day we checked, and districts that change their calendars are re-checked. How we check.
