I'm not sure. I gather it's pretty common in the deep southern US - I've seen it tied to mandated testing (get as many days in before the spring test as possible.) For our town, it works with the university faculty calendar - they end May 20 - but I think these are the dates for the whole state. In NC it was earlier than I was used to - August 24-June 10 - but not like here. I mean, it was 96 degrees today.
