Lucky. Two years ago, half the schools in my public school district got called off for a week because they didn't have AC (older buildings) and there was constant blistering heat. Since then, the topic of starting after labor day has come up, but the school thought it would be better to just install AC in all those school buildings. I was fortunate enough not to get school called off. I say fortunate because all the kids who had cancellations had a half hour added to their days the rest of the calendar year. In the end, I suffered anyway because that threw off the bus schedules, so during the icy cold winters I would wait a half an hour for a stupid bus to arrive.
