1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: What we have to think about is what's best for

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: the kids now and in the summer.

3
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 2: Here in Taunton, there's a movement of parents who are

4
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 2: seeking a waiver on the state's one hundred and eighty

5
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,319
Speaker 2: day requirement for schools so kids aren't dragging out the

6
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 2: year well towards the end of June. All instructional exam

7
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: requirements would be met, just a modification on how the

8
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 2: year ends.

9
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 3: In schools that cut short.

10
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 2: Not every parent agrees.

11
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 3: The kids don't seem to be as well rounded.

12
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 4: I think with all the time they've had off, I

13
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 4: would say it's not going to hurt them to be

14
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 4: in for another week.

15
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 2: Taughton School board recently voted against the idea, but parents

16
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: are still making their pitch after learning that both Dyton,

17
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: Rehoboth and Freetown Lakeville school Districts had their waivers approved

18
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: in Taunton. Jim McKay wb Z, Boston's news radio
